Downtown - Online Community Survey

Thank you for participating!
The Town of Candor is having a master plan prepared for future improvements to downtown. Through site analysis and public input, this plan will assess the current conditions of the Downtown Area, and develop a shared community Vision that will guide future improvements. These improvements will be primarily along Main Street from Ewing Street to just south of S Whiskey Road.  This Vision will become the foundation for an enhanced Downtown that improves the pedestrian experience, promotes walkability and safe access, and fosters economic development in Downtown Candor.
