Join us for a week of ideas, creativity and conversation as we explore the future of three community-owned buildings (111, 113-5 and 117-119 High St).
Our feasibility study is founded on three key principles:
the local community taking the lead on redevelopment.
repopulating the town centre by creating high-quality affordable housing on upper floors.
dynamic, engaging street-level activity supporting a mixed and vibrant local economy.
Come along and have your say on the future of the High Street. All events take place at The Standard, 139 High Street, Dumfries, DG1 2QT.
