Friday November 18 has been deemed the grand opening of Winooski's newly-revamped downtown area, according to this. I find myself a bit cut off from the world right now, so I don't really know what that means. But it's still true.

The project has been in motion for over five years, and finally we see some results. The downtown portion of Winooski is no longer a dangerous construction zone blocked off to the world. The construction isn't 100% complete quite yet, but people can go down there now. Residents are saying that traffic is better, and if all goes well the benefits of this restoration will remove some of the social stigma that exists for the residents of this one-square-mile town.
