Exciting Developments in Wixom: A New Hub for Socializing!
The lovely city of Wixom is buzzing with exciting new changes that are sure to enhance the community’s social scene. Residents and visitors now have a fantastic new spot to unwind as the former Wixom Bar joins the city’s charming Junction social district. This lively area not only offers a spot for a refreshing drink but is also blossoming with plans for a brand new park and other improvements that are set to make downtown Wixom even more inviting!
Embrace the Junction Social District!
One of the most delightful features of the Junction social district is the freedom it gives patrons. “People can go to a participating establishment that has a liquor license, they can get a beer, cocktail, wine, whatever, and leave the premises with their cocktail in a Junction cup and walk around our downtown,” shares a local authority member. This means you can stroll around Wixom, enjoying your favorite drink while taking in the sights and sounds of this vibrant community.
Introducing West End Commons
Adding to the excitement is the planned West End Commons, set to be situated on Old Wixom Road, right along the borders of Wainstock Street and Pontiac Trail. This new park is designed to be a hub of activity, complete with areas for seating and a lovely ‘band shell’ where entertainment will flourish throughout the year. “So, we plan on having entertainment there year-round, periodically,” emphasizes the spokesperson, hinting at an exciting lineup of events just waiting to unfold.
A Vision for Expansion
But the growth doesn’t stop at the Junction or the upcoming park. Wixom is on the lookout for a developer to create a mixed-use retail space that will further enrich the downtown experience. “We have over 500 new homes in downtown and residents. It’s a very busy place,” highlights the authority, showcasing how Wixom is rapidly becoming a bustling locale for both life and business.
A Glimpse into Wixom’s Past
The journey towards this vibrant downtown began long ago. The city’s downtown area unfortunately faced a significant setback in 1925 when it suffered a devastating fire that left it in ruins. However, it wasn’t until the late 1990s and early 2000s that the community rallied together to create a plan for a revitalized downtown. Through consistent efforts over the years, Wixom has steadily expanded, now transforming into a thriving center of activity.
A Bright Future Ahead
With the Junction social district and West End Commons set to elevate the downtown scene, Wixom is clearly heading towards a bright future. The mix of leisure, entertainment, and retail promises a charming experience for both residents and visitors. Whether you fancy a leisurely walk with a drink in hand or looking forward to enjoying a concert at the band shell, Wixom’s new developments are surely paving the way for more memorable moments.
