Downtown Phase 1

Let's get excited! Our new Downtown Revitalization is starting to take shape. We will be seeing new asphalt, lights, trees and rod iron rails which were made locally by Malpeque Fine Iron Products. The water and sewer are also being changed to replace the 100 year old pipes, samples of which can be seen in the Downtown office.

Confederation Trail will soon be asphalted from the P.E.I. Bag Company West to Burger King East. There are now lights, benches and banners along the trail and we should soon be seeing trees, flowers and shrubs as well so keep your eyes on the trail!

Downtown Summerside Inc. is selling Golf Shirts for $30.00 (tax included) featuring the Downtown logo. Shirts can be ordered from the Downtown office.
