What does Tiverton Offer????????

What amenities does Tiverton have? We do not have an abundance of nice restaurants to choose from, we don't have an abundance of shops. We have one market. We don't have a nice looking Main Road. We have two beaches, we are not on the ocean. We don't have a lot of things to do. Most people drive through this Town. What we have is Coffee Shops on every corner and Pizza and Chinese Restaurants. Our taxes are too high for young families to move in. Our quality of life has changed a lot from years ago. We do not have business to offset taxes. Most of the older generation wants this Town rural which in today's day and age does not work. We need business to offset the tax base and we need to stop giving developers tax breaks. Right now they are redoing Tiverton’s comprehensive plan which was done in 2004 and approved by the State in 2009. It was never intended as the Bible in this Town but is. Sometimes it does a lot of harm than good. We cannot get business into this town because of it. I hope with it being reviewed, it can change and help instead of hinder.
