As you walk along or drive past Delmar between Skinker and DeBaliviere, you will find that 84 Autumn Purple Ash trees have been planted thanks to the Commercial Theme District grant.
In addition, a number of businesses have ordered awnings through this grant that will further enhance the area.
These businesses include: Unique Art, Radiant Products, Art Directions, Sunshine Academy, Pawnmasters, Colonial Rug, Palomino Lounge, Happy Taco, Gingiss, and Rossi Trust (owners of building at northeast corner of Skinker and Delmar). Banners designed by Denise Boone for Delmar have been ordered and will be in place by March 5.
To celebrate this event, business owners on Delmar, Commercial District Committee and SDCC Board members, and elected officials, and others interested in improvements to Delmar will gather at the Wabash Triangle Cafe on Friday, March 5, at 5:30 p.m.
The trees, the banners, the awnings are all visible signs of revitalization.
