Great Eastern

The Great Eastern area is an important commercial and retail hub in Northwood that has long supported local businesses and economic activity. Like many established areas, portions of Great Eastern are experiencing challenges related to aging infrastructure, underutilized properties, and changing market conditions.

Recognizing these challenges, the City of Northwood and the Northwood CIC are committed to strategic reinvestment and long-term improvement throughout the area. Planned efforts focus on upgrading infrastructure, enhancing aesthetics, and improving safety to create a more attractive and functional environment for businesses, residents, and visitors. These improvements, combined with opportunities for redevelopment and new business attraction, aim to strengthen the area’s economic performance and community presence.

With its access to regional transportation networks and proximity to residential neighborhoods, the Great Eastern area represents a key opportunity for thoughtful commercial growth that aligns with Northwood’s vision for a safer, more vibrant, and economically resilient future.
