McGuinty Government Helps Town With Its Market-based Strategy

The Town of Greater Napanee is developing market-based, downtown revitalization plans with assistance from the Province.

Business and community leaders, working in partnership with Loyalist College, are eager to develop a unique shopping and civic experience in keeping with the historic character of the area.

Healthy rural downtowns are important to Ontario's economic well-being and the communities they serve.
