Route 38/129 Business Corridor Feedback Wanted, Town Says

WILMINGTON, MA — Wilmington's Economic Development Committee is seeking resident and business-owner feedback on the Route 38/129 Business Corridor.

The town is taking part in the state's Local Rapid Recovery Plan Program and is working on an assessment of the Route 38 and Route 29 corridor.

"The effort will culminate in plans that summarize the diagnostic findings and offer clear, tactical project recommendations," the town said.

As part of that assessment, they are looking for feedback on topics including challenges for small businesses and what improvements would make residents more likely to go to businesses in the area.

There are six categories for feedback:

• "Public Realm: streets, sidewalks, public parks and other public spaces
• Private Realm: commercial buildings, storefronts, parking lots and open space on private property
• Revenue & Sales: strategies for increasing revenue of existing businesses; issues impacting business growth and customer traffic
• Administrative Capacity: government regulations, staffing and oversight; organizational management of the district or business association
• Culture & Arts: public art, arts and cultural institutions, businesses, events, educational facilities, etc.
• Tenants Mix: attraction and retention of businesses and particular business types"
