Work will soon begin on a two-year downtown revitalization in Goderich.
Mayor Trevor Bazinet says the town’s aging infrastructure has been due for an update for years.
“It’s a project that I always said I don’t want to be on council when we do it, and now I’m the Mayor and we’re doing,” Bazinet tells Country 104.9 News.
“But it needs to be done.”
The $9 million project will replace water and sewage lines beneath the town’s downtown core, followed by updated roads and sidewalks.
Bazinet says the whole project will be done in sections.
“We’re not digging up the entire square all at once,” Bazinet says.
“We’re going to do section-by-section. We want to make it as least painful as possible.”
The first part of the project is coming this February, when Bazinet says Goderich council will put the project to tender for contractors to bid on.
He expects the project will begin in late-March or mid-April.
