We also have a special project opportunity this year. We’re hoping to match a volunteer group with a local downtown business to help tackle some outdoor building maintenance—those small but important projects that help keep downtown looking sharp and welcoming but can be hard to get to when you’re busy running a business.

If your group would be interested in taking on a special project, please reach out and we’ll work on matching you with a business that would truly appreciate the extra hands to knock out a few of those to-do list items.
