(Re: Downtown to benefit as Council approves Community Improvement Plan, March 6)

As owner of Caruso & Company I would like to add clarification to the statement made by Councillor Evelyn Buck referencing Caruso & Company and the condition of Aurora’s downtown, specifically “Businesses like Caruso & Company have thrived and just want Council to ‘get out of their way.’”
To be clear, I have never spoken to Councillor Buck, nor have I ever expressed my opinions in any way to her regarding the Town’s level of involvement in the downtown core.
I cannot speak for other businesses in the area but, personally, I applaud Aurora Town Council for implementing the Community Improvement Plan and welcome any assistance the Town may have to offer.
The initiatives and resources within the plan will benefit business and stakeholders in the area who may need help and any improvements to the area will benefit the Town as a whole.
I can only describe Councillor Buck’s inability to see the “decay” in the downtown core as disappointing.
