Mayor Mark Hawke Gardner is a City on the move!
Welcome to the Chair City, where change is on the horizon! For many years people have come to Gardner to find quality furniture, and while we cherish our rich history and past, Gardner has become so much more. Our downtown is evolving, manufacturing is growing, technology companies are expanding, and new businesses are opening. It has never been more exciting than now to be part of the changing landscape in the heart of Massachusetts. Downtown revitalization is advancing and many of our City’s officials have worked very hard to make these changes happen.
Some of the changes you’ll see soon are:
- The demolition of the old movie theatre.
- Paving of Derby Drive.
- Final cleanup of the Garbose property which will make way for new development.
- A new skate park facility in Jackson Park.
- A new dog park facility in Pulaski Playground.
- Numerous improvements to our open space trails with a recently awarded grant.
- New businesses moving into our downtown area. Recently Cumberland’s and the Yoga Tree opened and are experiencing great success; a children’s clothing store and full service spa, Mia Bella, the American Biomedical Company is now in the old police station.
- A lot of existing businesses are making improvements including GAAMHA, Gardner Travel, Worker’s Credit Union, and the GFA Federal Credit Union.
We are also fortunate to have so many long standing local businesses in our downtown area. John’s Sport Shop, The Velvet Goose, Suzette’s Lunch, Lakin’s, Paramount Cafe and Priscilla’s to name a few. Many of these caring people work as a team through Square Two, Gardner’s Downtown Association, to showcase our City through local events such as the wildly successful Fabulous Fall Festival and Chair Luge.
The next time you need something, please consider shopping in your downtown to support these local businesses. There is something for everyone.
