The Honorable Brenda Fowlie presented winners with this first time award.
Downtown NB and the province developed a grant program in 2003-2004 to help stimulate proper planning as a basis upon which
strong downtowns would be built or sustained. The awards reflect the best of the submissions received.
Downtown NB
represents 29 Business Improvement Areas across New Brunswick.
“We have recently completed our own strategic
plan which identified the need to help our member organizations in their efforts to strengthen their respective downtowns,”
said Carol Campbell, acting President of Downtown NB.
Peter Asimakos who is also a board member of Downtown NB, chaired
the Strategic Planning Committee and sees the awards and AGM as an opportunity to make more people aware of the grant program
for planning.
“Downtowns of New Brunswick are key economic engines for the province and their respective municipalities
and if they are not in a healthy condition then the entire province will suffer — we see this program as a critical
component to sustaining the health of our province.”
