Business View Civil and Municipal | Volume 2, Issue 9

161 CIVIL AND MUNICIPAL VOLUME 2, ISSUE 9 Festival (previously the Canadian Open Old Time Fiddle Championship), is slated to become a community-oriented park rather than just a tourist destination and event space. The final infrastructure enhancement is the expansion of high-speed internet and telecommunication service for townspeople working from home and local businesses. Parts of Shelburne will receive fibre optic lines through the SWIFT (Southwestern Integrated Fibre Technology) program. Also, to improve local broadband wireless services, the council recently approved a proposal for a new telecommunication tower. Shelburne’s path to expansion and progress is set to continue, as it aims to accommodate a growing population and develop “a complete community.” The town is on track to bring in a balance of amenities, services, arts, culture, and facilities now that the residential side is growing. As Wever shares, “While there is some catching up to do, the town has several opportunities to achieve this goal. There’s a great opportunity within the next 10-20 years of growth to balance off all that population increase with the additional amenities and services that will be needed. Not only to service that, but also to realize the benefit for the residents who are seeing all this growth in their community.” SHELBURNE , ONTAR IO Maramel Homes means quality, professionalism and family legacy.
