Ryan Cannon Town Manager
As 2023 comes to an end I’d like to reflect on some of the accomplishments of the Town this year. The Town has heard for years that the Town needed a Town Center or place for the Community to gather. The Town has entered into an agreement and has committed funding to partner with a developer on a transformative project called Easton Grey. Easton Grey will be a mixed-use development that has a walkable commercial area called the Riverwalk District. Construction is expected to begin in 2024. After more than a year working with the Avon Junior Athletic Association, we were able to get an agreement approved. We are so excited about the opportunity to grow, enhance and increase sports participation for youth in our community. We look forward to partnering with our Schools on growing school spirit, working with Coaches to teach and develop skills and Churches to utilize community resources. The Town is also nearing completion of the first Phase of the Dan Jones widening project. This is the first phase of what will be a multiyear project to enhance transportation in Avon and reduce commute times. The Town has heard our residents’ frustration with traffic congestion, and we are addressing this by adding capacity to our transportation network. With 2023 concluding, we begin to look forward to 2024. Next year the Town is planning some exciting new projects. We are hoping to break ground on a new Government Center that will be located at the heart of Easton Grey. It will be a collaborative effort to house the Town, School, Township and Chamber. It will also have space for the community to gather and participate in events. The Town is planning to do a bond to begin construction on several new Parks. Over the last few years, the Town has acquired new land, and we are now ready to start building those new Parks. These new Parks will provide places for families to play together and enjoy nature together and will enhance the quality of life in Avon. Finally, as Dan Jones widening phase 1 is completed, we will shift into phase 2 which will be widening from CR 100 S to CR 150 S and include a roundabout at CR 150 S. This project will enhance traffic flow, but it will also alleviate traffic congestion to and from the High School. Thank you to all the Town Staff, Police Department and Town Council for their hard work in 2023 to continue to make Avon a safe, vibrant community for active families and thriving businesses. Thank you to our residents and business for trusting us and supporting us in this mission.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Years.
