Fergus is developing a community meeting place to draw visitors and tourists to the downtown core. 

Through the Rural Economic Development Program, Ontario is helping Fergus to:

• create a central outdoor community and special events venue at the downtown gateway
• highlight the significance of Fergus' history through interpretative plaques
• draw visitors and residents to downtown Fergus
• increase revenues for downtown merchants with increased visitor traffic
• enhance the downtown streetscape with a revitalized downtown green space
