seating have been augmented to further encourage the welcoming and walkable downtown atmosphere we have here. Working with the Town, the DTP has also helped to influence the development of our new Civic Square which complements recent upgrades to our Farmers’ Market and provides an enviable green and community gathering area as a forecourt to our newly completed Library. The Library has provided the perfect opportunity for the Town to refurbish and restore a beautiful, historic building right in the center of our downtown and to do so while providing a very necessary service. Both the Library and the Civic Square present new venues for increased community functions and we plan to take advantage of those opportunities. Those are just some of the highlights that speak to our commitment to our Mission Statement. Yes, I understand that in late 2007, the DTP and its entire membership engaged in a planning session in which you amended your Strategic Plan. What was the new Mission Statement that came out of this session? ‘The Downtown Truro Partnership will research, develop, implement, facilitate and promote initiatives, utilizing key partnerships to enhance sustainable growth and development of theUrbanRegional Core as an exceptional destination for business, residents and visitors.’ What initiatives are you currently pushing forward?
