Major Facelift For Prince William Street

Prince William Street isn't the thriving commercial district it once was--but a $2.5 million  refurbishment program is going to bring the nationally-designated historic streetscape back to something of its former glory.


Common Councillor Donna Reardon suggested granite rather than concrete curbing would make sense given the importance of the project, especially since building owners in that area are required to bring their buildings up to the heritage code.


The granite curbing would cost $150,000 more than concrete--but the consensus around the council horseshoe seems to be that if it's worth doing, it's worth doing right.
