Curb’d Competition
This past summer, our Economic Vitality Committee launched our Parklet. The parklet was found at various businesses in the downtown area. Each business chose how the parklet was used: outdoor patio, office hours, jewelry class, beer garden, etc. Now we want your help to design and construct a new parklet. You have until November 15th, to submit a design proposal for a new parklet to be launched in Spring of 2020. For more information and to view the application, click here.
