Flower Basket Update
Downtown flower baskets will be completed next week. Circumstances such as funding cuts and the addition of flower baskets in the completed blocks of the Renaissance Streetscape project have necessitated that we approach this effort differently this year. We asked for help from our community and we are grateful to those who have responded so generously.
