Community Benefits
Thank you to our downtown residents and businesses for your patience during this time.While there will be some short-term inconveniences, the production brings a positive economic return to the Town, the community and local businesses. To offset the impacts to the area, the Town successfully negotiated a $10,000 contribution to the Newmarket BIA to help reinfuse vitality and energy along Main Street as it recovers from the pandemic.
