Williamsville is a neighbourhood located in downtown Kingston, Ontario, Canada.
[1] Williamsville is represented on the City Council by counsellor Vincent Cinanni [2] and is also home to the Williamsville Community Association, a local advocacy group committed to the interests of Williamsville's residents, businesses, and agencies.
[3] As one of the original neighbourhoods of the City of Kingston, Williamsville is home to several good examples of local Limestone, Victorian, and Craftsman-Style architecture.
[5] Following the completion of Ontario Highway 401 and declining usage of Ontario Highway 2, the main thoroughfare through Kingston, economic prosperity declined in Williamsville beginning in the 1960s.
[6] These efforts have led to extensive renovations to the Kingston Memorial Centre, significant investment in infrastructure along Princess Street along the Williamsville corridor,[7] new residential development projects,[8] and the addition of Kingston's second Farmers' Market.
