ESABA - Light it UP - Aug 11 2026

Aug 11, 2026

Greetings!

We've been hearing about streetlights out on Payne Ave and across the East Side. These lights will get fixed but the copper is getting stripped almost immediately. Let's talk about other solutions businesses can consider! And Payne Ave construction starts Monday Aug 17 between Maryland and Case. Stay tuned for a meeting to bring businesses together around Lights UP and construction. This week join the *Fabulous Fun* Aug 12 - ESABA at Crowbar for "Catch Your Breath - Happy Hour" and hear all about how we're turning on, tuning in, and doubling down for our businesses in the summertime. Let's light it up!
