Hagersville Streetscape Plan

1 Introduction
Background
The County adopted the Downtown Areas Community
Improvement Plan in 2008 for the central business areas of six of
its communities. The intent for the Community Improvement
Plan was to utilize a series of financial incentive programs and
County initiatives to encourage redevelopment and revitalization
within these six communities.
Following up on the recommendations of the Community
Improvement Plan, the County undertook, and ultimately
approved in January 2010, the “Haldimand County
Streetscape Plan and Urban Design Guidelines”, which
provided streetscape concepts for five of the County’s urban
communities: Caledonia, Cayuga, Dunnville, Hagersville, and
Jarvis (Townsend excluded). These concepts provide the
higher level direction that would guide the detailed
streetscape design exercises that would occur for each of the
five communities.
Haldimand County is now working towards preparing a
detailed Streetscape Plan for Hagersville’s central business
areas that will identify recommended improvements to the
public places and spaces within the area. GSP Group was
retained by the County in July 2010 to prepare the Hagersville
Streetscape Plan, which would identify these specific
recommendations and action items for carrying out
improvements to Hagersville’s central business area.
