Bradford West Gwillimbury held a groundbreaking last week to launch construction on a new public square.
The development will be located on the BWG Public Library lawn at 425 Holland St. West. An official sod-turning ceremony happened on July 17 at 5:00 p.m.
Council approved the public square development to provide the community with a vibrant social venue. It will feature a covered stage, a water feature, gardens, trees, and ample seating, ensuring that there is something for everyone to enjoy.
“I am excited to see this project come to life and look forward to seeing the public square become a destination for our community to connect with neighbours and friends,” said Mayor James Leduc. “The addition of this new outdoor space will offer BWG a premiere place to host town events, acting as a central place for our residents to share social and cultural experiences.”
Construction is expected to continue through the remainder of 2024, with completion slated for the end of May 2025.
