Many requests from residents for ongoing news about the Village Green project have prompted the Creemore Community Foundation to commit to providing a regular update in The Echo.

Our new Creemore Village Green is now nearing completion of all foundations, storage buildings, underground storm water drainage and electrical services. Construction at the Village Green is picking up speed after a series of events which seriously slowed the project over the last few months. The most significant delay (over two months) resulted from an error in the concrete work for the stage which required it to be re-engineered, partially demolished, and then partially repoured. Due to the stage’s location, other work was also delayed, including the installation of the underground services for the park. It is looking like our new park will be completed this year with some planting The doughty crew of the Hog Special beside their favourite engine.
