Public Way Aesthetics
Our goal is to create a more attractive commercial environment for consumers, residents and business owners by installing planters, more trash receptacles, banners and holiday decorations to create a more vibrant community.
Economic Development and Customer Attraction
SSA #42 will continue to promote local business through enhanced website and social media outreach, shop local initiatives and special events.
