The Downtown Reimagined project continues to make progress as watermain installation reaches the Main Street and Elm Street intersection, and prepares to move into its next stage, with four nights of overnight construction within the intersection.

Crews have completed watermain installation up to the Main Street and Elm Street intersection, including the branch at Oak Street, and continue installing water services along Elm Street. Planned watermain and service installation within the Balsam Lane Public Parking Lot has been postponed until the required underground utility locates are received. The parking lot remains open and accessible while the work is rescheduled.

The Grimsby Basement Flood Protection Program (FPP) is in the early phases of development with plans to provide rebates to residential property owners who install flood protection measures within their homes. If approved by council, the program will look to begin in Q1 2027, subject to funding.

As part of the Town's ongoing commitment to protecting and restoring natural areas, Invasive Phragmites treatment will be taking place at Lakelawn Park, Casablanca Waterfront Park, and Vineyard Valley on August 28.
