Over the past decade, Kemptville’s downtown core (known as “Old Town Kemptville”) has continued to grow and thrive and offers a distinctly small-town/rural lifestyle and has seen a significant revival over the last few years. The Municipality of North Grenville, joined by business groups such as the Old Town Kemptville Business Improvement Area (BIA) and the North Grenville Chamber of Commerce – along with private investors – has brought to life historic buildings and public spaces. Downtown has become a destination and focal point for North Grenville’s art, cultural, and heritage amenities, all spanning our natural waterfront. The Downtown Kemptville Community Action Plan (DKCAP), adopted by Council in 2021, recommended a parking study be completed in the downtown core, as residents and businesses have cited a lack of parking downtown as a concern. Parking is a key factor to ensure residents and visitors feel welcome, and ensure businesses can continue to grow and flourish, and maintain success.
