From the Niagara Falls Review:
Sprucing up Table Rock House and developing an interactive hydroelectricity museum at the Canadian Niagara Power plant are among the ideas the Niagara Parks Commission will consider this year, says the agency’s chairman Jim Williams.
The commission has been under pressure to increase revenue, but has learned local residents expect “creative, yet tasteful” attractions, Williams said during a speech at a chamber of commerce reception Wednesday.
“Table Rock is a prime locale and destination for five million visitors who come to Queen Victoria Park,” Williams said.
Despite the unrivalled view from the second-floor Table Rock restaurant, it is “unknown to many visitors” who shop in the ground-floor stores, Williams said. Its retail stores haven’t kept pace with changes in that market.
The last renovations to the building, which sits metres from the brink of the Horseshoe Falls, was 15 years ago.“It is no longer the stately facility it once was,” Williams said after his presentation.
