Heat in the Street

 

The Northville DDA is excited to announce the construction of 2 types of modular structures in the downtown Social  District beginning the first week of December. The Pods will provide covered spaces for consuming food and beverages at a bar-height table. The Stands will be available for local restaurants to prepare and/or serve food. Both Pods and Stands are equipped with electric overhead heaters and lighting.

The DDA has experienced great success with the Social District this summer and fall. It has drawn people into downtown and helped the downtown businesses to better deal with the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic. Now that the colder months are approaching, we want to sustain the draw to our community while continuing to support our local businesses. 


If you would like to donate to help with this initiative please visit our GO FUND ME page for HEAT IN THE STREET.

Embrace the colder temps and have some fun in the downtown this winter!
