Penticton – Main Street construction is just days from completion. As part of the Downtown Revitalization project, the 200 Block of Main Street will re-open this Saturday right on schedule.

At 10:00 AM on Saturday, June 18th, Mayor Jakubeit along with Council Members, Richard Cannings, MP, Dan Ashton, MLA and the DPA will be present at the Westminster intersection of Main Street for a ribbon cutting and a re-welcoming of the community into their vibrant new space.

“Downtown Revitalization is a Council strategic priority and this project helped address much needed infrastructure improvements while at the same time created a fresh and welcoming downtown core so we can promote a vibrant atmosphere for people to gather, shop, and enjoy” said Mayor Jakubeit who will do the ribbon cutting honours on Saturday.

The project was completed on time and on budget. Early feedback on the wide sidewalks and generous green space has been overwhelmingly positive as noted by merchant Christine Conquergood of Peaches Lingerie, “Construction was conducted in a professional, efficient and timely manner.  We are excited to share our beautiful new street front with both local and tourist shoppers!”
