Don’t count downtown out just yet.

This week on Tech About Town, Cory Bluhm, Executive Director of Economic Development for the City of Kitchener, joins the podcast to discuss the exciting developments and ongoing transformations happening across Downtown Kitchener. 

From the challenges of the pandemic to the rise of new businesses and community spaces, Cory shares his unique perspective on the city's journey to becoming a vibrant and dynamic urban center that's become a model across North America.

We also debate what the best cocktail is in DTK and it’s Coffee and Cigarettes at the Grand Trunk Saloon because I write the show notes. 

Learn about the history, current initiatives, and vision for the future shaping Kitchener’s downtown core. Whether you're a local or just a fan of urban revitalization, this episode offers insights into how economic development strategies are making a difference in Kitchener.
