As we head into the spring season, I am grateful for the warmer weather. Even though it has been a rainy start, I can see signs of spring around every corner. Flowers are starting to pop up in garden beds, people out walking to close by destinations, and the extra daylight brings energy to the day.

We are postponing the DBA meeting scheduled for tomorrow, Wednesday, April 17^th!

To be an active organization, we are replacing it with a Clean Up Event for Earth Day, on Monday, April 22nd. We will be providing shirts and cleaning supplies such as pinchers, bags, and gloves. We are encouraging all business owners and staff to look to beautify the outside of their buildings and the spaces around it. Your efforts to help ensure our downtown remains cleaner and greener do not go unnoticed. It is always inspiring to see people investing in our community and how it benefits everyone both in the short and long term.

-Mary Waldron
