Nichols to take the concept and create construction
documents.
The City Council is looking to create a usable plaza space in
front of City Hall for people to enjoy and to bring the
community together for city events such as the Christmas
Tree Lighting, concerts, movie screenings, and more.
The City purchased the land for the Plaza in 2017. The
initial plan for a plaza was part of the creation of the Tax
Increment Financing District (TIF) in 1998.
