Legacy donors leave a long-lasting impact on Aurora Community

Aurora Town Square legacy donors were celebrated on Wednesday at a special donor recognition
event at Aurora Public Library. 

Town Square is a key part of the Town of Aurora’s downtown revitalization, complementing the Town’s small-town charm with big-city amenities. This new community hub, which is set to open in early 2024, will offer unlimited possibilities for community and culture through a 29,000 square-foot outdoor community space and 32,000 square-foot addition to the beloved Church Street School.

In the first phase of the legacy fundraising campaign, donors have pledged nearly $2 million towards the $5 million goal. Each contribution makes a difference for the Aurora community today and will impact many generations to come. At Wednesday’s event, new donors Charlieville Developments Ltd. and Shining Hill Group of Companies were announced. They join Town Square’s donors Addison Hall Business Park, Fieldgate Homes, Paradise Developments, TACC Developments, and Treasure Hill.

“The future looks bright for Aurora’s downtown as Town Square will have an immediate impact when it opens by bringing people into the area to enjoy performances, cultural spaces, this amazing library, the beautiful outdoor square, as well as the rest of our downtown,” said Aurora Mayor Tom Mrakas.

Aurora Town Square will foster Aurora’s innovative and sustainable community, benefit local businesses, and leverage future investment. Donations support the important development and growth of the Town’s downtown core and all of Aurora. Discover how you can make a difference to the transformation, redevelopment, and renaissance of Aurora’s historical downtown through the fundraising campaign.
