Farmers' Market to open on time despite construction work in downtown Georgetown

The Main St. reconstruction project in downtown Georgetown is going so well that the Farmers' Market will begin on time-- June 16. The market will be held on the west side of Main St., between Mill St. and Church St. Aecon Contracting is just finishing replacing the three maintenance holes in the middle of Main Street. Main Street has been a mecca for little boys says Georgetown BIA manager Kay Matthews. "It's been so much fun watching the little boys with their wellies on splashing in the puddles and just generally awed by the big construction vehicles that are working hard to renew downtown Georgetown," she said. The Georgetown BIA also announced its 2007-2008 Board of Directors, they are: · Chair-- Kate Murray owner, Freckled Lion Children's Bookstore · Vice-Chair-- Judy Grant-Horner, Accountant On Main and property owner · Treasurer-- Richard Ruggle, owner Shepherd's Crook · Secretary-- Chantal Garneau, The Ancient Way · Dennis Allen, Canterbury Foods · Syl Carle, property owner · Randy Kerman, Eagle Ridge Financial · Sandy Mackenzie, property owner · Brad Mailloux and Liz Masson, Feet In Motion · Jane Fogal, Halton Region and Town of Halton Hills councillor. The board will next meet on Tuesday, April 10. One of their first tasks will be to lead Downtown Georgetown through a Strategic Planning Session, where a vision and short and long-term business plan will be created.
