Downtown Blooming, Downtown Booming - 2009-06-24
The Committee for Downtown Yakima is implementing a new plan called "Downtown Blooming, Downtown Booming." The Program will have three components.
CDY will ask all downtown merchants and property owners to purchase colorful flowers and decorations in front of their stores and buildings.
Then, CDY will provide free consulting to the downtown businesses: such as, types of flowers to be planted and the best way to maintain the flowers. Lenette Rhoel from the Garden Girl has offered her assistance with consulting downtown businesses. The Flower Garden, which supplies CDY with the flower baskets, will work with businesses to coordinate their flowers with those around downtown.
Finally, CDY will initiate and administer a juried award program at the end of the summer to recognize the biggest contributor to downtown.
This is just another way that the downtown businesses and CDY can work together to continue to beautify downtown Yakima!
