The Township of Uxbridge is undertaking a Downtown Revitalization Strategic Plan and Action Plan.
And, as part of the plans, the township staff have commissioned further conceptual drawings imagining what future redevelopment could look like downtown.
These drawings are a proposed vision for the intersection of Brock Street West and Spruce Street, said a township notice.
It said these renderings are intended to serve as tools to communicate a vision and key characteristics of downtown to potential developers and private property owners.
The Uxbridge Downtown Revitalization project (#myuxbridgedowntown) was launched in August of 2020 to develop a cohesive long-term vision for the downtown area. Council approved the Strategic Plan and an Action Plan in March 2022 that focuses on the longer-term economic development and social well-being of the downtown.
The project is now in the implementation phase. The project was made possible with a partnership between the Township of Uxbridge, the Region of Durham, the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs and the Uxbridge Business Improvement Area (BIA).
The project will renew and improve the economic, physical and social well-being of Uxbridge’s town centre by:
- Strengthening local business and encouraging investment by property owners;
- Creating enjoyable public streets and spaces animated by a variety of creative and civic activities; and,
- Providing work and living opportunities that fulfil people’s needs across a spectrum of ages and interests.

Pease email your comments on these renderings to the building department, the township urged residents.
