Rick Rawlings, BIA Board Director and Owner of Gravenhurst Tapes thinks otherwise and says the expansion would build up the community.

Rawlings says if local businesses want Gravenhurst to grow, then money should be used to help with events, marketing, and beautification in the UpTown area. He adds that currently only a few businesses are paying for many.
