Port Hope's blog

OEMC, Kingston Ontario - September 11-13, 2013

Port Hope’s Downtown Revitalization Project is well underway since the launch on September 4^th announcing Michel Bourque as Downtown Revitalization Coordinator.

A flurry of activity has generated a strong awareness and interest within the community.  The new website www.mydowntownporthope.com will provide ongoing news and information about the project and how the community can get involved.

Port Hope’s IDEAHUB is pleased to welcome The Apple Crumble Company as a tenant in the Municipality’s business incubator.

The Apple Crumble Company began from a very well received dessert at a family gathering – the joy and pleasure that ensued from the simple comfort food started owner Jill Lawrence thinking about the idea for a business.

The Municipality of Port Hope will launch a long-term, multi-faceted Downtown Revitalization Project aimed at strengthening the community's business core, re-energizing the Port Hope community and attracting the external audiences who may choose Port Hope as a destination for their home, business or vacation. The project is a central component part of a long-term vision for Port Hope say's Mayor Linda Thompson, "promotion of economic development and tourism is a key objective of our Corporate Strategic Plan.

The Municipality of Port Hope celebrated the Official Opening of Pemberton Drive on Friday March 30th with Mayor Linda Thompson, MP Rick Norlock, MPP Rob Milligan, Walter Van Veen of the PHAI, Council Members and the Pemberton Family in attendance.
