Hastings County Economic Development & Tourism Launches Vacant Storefront Campaign in Deseronto

Deseronto Council and staff would like to thank the Hastings County Economic Development & Tourism Advisory Committee, which has launched their vacant storefront campaign, with two locations in our downtown.  The locations are “Octopus Books” in the former Dollar Store and “The Black Cat Café” in the former Dixie Lee/grocery store.

The goal is to inspire entrepreneurs to invest and open businesses in downtown cores by providing a window to what could be in each location.  In creating the concept and design for the vacant storefront campaign, the Hastings County Economic Development & Tourism team worked with a local and award-winning illustrator to create the illustrations used for the storefronts, based on businesses that could be a good potential fit in each downtown. 

The campaign is also designed to make it easy for entrepreneurs and potential business investors to gain information on the available storefronts, be connected with the property owners or managers, and receive free and confidential business coaching from the Hastings County Small Business Coordinator if required. The campaign also features a digital component to attract potential entrepreneurs and investors locally and regionally and could be expanded to accommodate more vacant storefronts in the future.

Significant Weather Event - December 24, 2022

Deseronto Fire Department wants to remind residents to check the exhaust vents on all fuel burning appliances. Blowing and drifting snow can build up around the outside of your home and block the exhaust vent for furnaces, dryers, fireplaces and air ex-changers. Please ensure the vents are clear of any built up snow accumulation as it is important for the proper operation of fuel burning appliances.

Please stay off the roads until the storm passes. Snow accumulation is significant and many roads in the area are impassable. The Public Works Department is diligently working on clearing the roads but strong winds and blowing snow are making the task difficult. It may take a longer period of time to get all the roads and sidewalks cleared.

Please stay safe during this unprecedented storm.
