Downtown Sarnia and Mitton Village Neighbourhood Revitalization Project
The City of Sarnia’s Neighbourhood Revitalization Project is an initiative funded in part by Ontario’s Ministry of Agriculture, Food, and Rural Affairs (OMAFRA). The project aims to enhance the areas of Downtown Sarnia and Mitton Village by identifying opportunities for improvements to public space, marketing and promoting the areas, and providing business development services.
The project will begin by updating the areas' business inventories, compiling historical and archival data on the areas, and hosting community engagement events. The project team will also host a series of public consultations, digital surveys, and pop-ups in the coming months to gather input from residents, businesses, and organizations in these areas. The feedback gained will help inform some of the short-term activation initiatives, and longer-term strategic planning priorities, for the revitalization of these areas.
Downtown Sarnia and Mitton Village, as defined in the City's Community Improvement Plan, will be the focus areas for this project. The entire community is welcome to share their input on what's needed to enhance these areas.
Provide your input into our survey
Starting Oct. 20, 2023, business owners, visitors, residents and other interested parties can provide their insight through feedback surveys. Your insight will help us create a plan reflecting the needs and lived experience of those who live, work, and play in these crucial parts of our community.
If you own a business in one of these areas, please complete the Business Owner Survey.
If you live in, visit, or have an alternate interest in these areas please complete the Resident, Visitor, or Other Interested Party Survey.
