The Civic Square makeover will be funded by the Main Street Revitalization Initiative. And, according to Get Involved Burlington, the budget is $680,000.
“Many of the improvements planned for the space are required to improve things like accessibility, safety and convenience,” reads the Get Involved Burlington website.

It has also been noted that residents would like to see Civic Square used for family art nights, farmer’s markets, as a place to sit and relax, fitness activities, photo opportunities, as well as ceremonies and festivals.
