A possibility of a new town square in 2007 took a leap forward toward reality at the City Council meeting on Monday night, February 5th. City Council approved the overall Conceptual  Design for the downtown and the contract for design services with Grissim Metz Andriese Associates. Authorized to proceed,  the DDA will now begin in earnest the redesign of the town square.  Included in the new space will a new bandshell, large shade trees in raised planter beds, clay pavered open area and fountain. Look for an update in 4 weeks.
