And we have an arch! ***Located at this particular spot because ODOT restricts structures like this over highways - 3rd Street is a highway, and Main Street South is also a highway.*** This is one of many projects that continues efforts to beautify our downtown core and increase our small business sales, economic development and community engagement. And just for a little background as to "why", research confirms that small towns with thriving beautification programs see an increase across the board of nearly 30% in sales for businesses. Consumers prefer to shop in pretty places, and pretty places increase the value of a product.

Hello everyone. Here is a closer rendering of the archway for downtown Prineville. We were going to have the CC in the middle, but decided against that. The one word of Prineville. See the cool letters made by the high school welding group. Logs with metal and then the light poles that will be adorning downtown Prineville.

See you all tomorrow!
