Library & Cultural Centre Plaza Construction

About The Project

The Town is building a new plaza at the Georgetown Library & Cultural Centre. Located at 9 Church Street, in the heart of historic downtown Georgetown, this new public open space will serve as an important place to gather and celebrate the unique character, diversity and cultural heritage of Halton Hills.

Construction of the plaza is scheduled for fall 2020, with planting to be completed in spring 2021.

Public access and use of the Library & Cultural Centre will be maintained during construction.

Project Highlights

• Approximately 300m2 of paved open plaza space.
