- Harold Barry (downtown business owner) was sworn in as interim Trustee on Thursday evening. This “appointment” expires 4/30/2024
- Dental Excellence was awarded the first Tier 2 DIP grant in the amount of $51,000. The primary improvement is fire suppression (sprinklers)
- Annual flower baskets are very stressed. Removal of baskets this year will be a little earlier - maybe completed already. Normally, that is done right before Trick or Treat Trail
- CBD Holiday decorations this year will be artificial greens (wreaths), but lighted this year. The last couple of years we experienced premature browning of the wreaths which dampened the holiday spirit.
- CBD sidewalk repairs 10th & 11th
