The Town of Essex wants to expand its Community Improvement Plan in Colchester Centre.
The town is holding public meeting on Monday to see if there is any interest from businesses in the area. (North & South sides of County Road 50 from Dunn Road to County Road 41 to the west of Colchester and from Islandview Lane to County Road 23, east in Colchester)
Councillor Sherry Bondy says the CIP is already in place in Essex and Harrow Centres.
She says it's intended to assist businesses with revitalization and economic enhancement by providing financial incentives.
"Now we'll expand it to really our tourism area in the municipality and this is where we're driving economic development," says Bondy. "Let's assist some of these winery owners, farmers and fruit stands and some of the smaller businesses in that area and see what kind of interest there is."
The public meeting starts at 6pm.
It will be held at the Colchester Community Centre on Jackson Street.
