Help develop a Vision for a vibrant downtown Vineland.

We invite you to take this survey and provide more detailed information on how you would like the Vineland Central Business District (CBD) to evolve over the foreseeable future. The survey is a follow-up to the feedback received from residents, property owners, and businesses during the public meetings and other forms of communication earlier this year.

The survey takes approximately 5 - 10 minutes to complete.

The Survey will be open until November 8th, 2026.

Public Consultation

Two workshops were held on February 19, 2026 and March 10, 2026. The goal of these workshops was to provide information on the existing land use permissions in the Vineland Central Business District (CBD) and to identify key principles and objectives that will ultimately shape a long-term plan. Feedback from these workshops will guide the future vision for growth and development to create a vibrant and attractive downtown Vineland.

The presentation from the workshops can be viewed in the Document Library on the right.

Initial meetings took place with landowners in the area in May 2025. The presentation from this meeting can be viewed in the Document Library on the right.

Why a New Vision for Vineland?

The Town of Lincoln, in partnership with Niagara Region, has initiated a project to revitalize Vineland’s downtown, or central business district, ultimately transforming it into a vibrant and dynamic community destination. The block is bordered by King Street, Victoria Avenue, Tallman Drive, and Orchard Avenue.

This is a long-term vision to restore the area to a commercial, social and cultural hub for Lincoln, thus fostering future growth and community prosperity. There is much potential in this district to create vibrant and connected community-focused spaces.

What We Hope to Achieve

Through this exercise, we are looking to develop strategic principles meant to guide the area’s long-term growth and development, rather than create a strict set of regulations. This is a longer-term project that will require input from stakeholders and community members alike to create a collective and conceptual vision for this space.

This transformation won't necessarily begin as soon as this vision is approved or be triggered by an upcoming development concept. Instead, it is meant to be a long-term vision to guide growth and development as they occur over time.

Further, the vision will provide guidance to the development of the central business district and overall streetscape, rather than commenting on individual detailed designs.

The goal is to develop a vision that will lead to a cohesive and vibrant downtown Vineland.
