Residents present Back Alley Beautification plan for EDA-owned parcels behind Estelles
Summary
Local presenters proposed a Back Alley Beautification project that would add fenced trash/recycling areas and an event pavilion on EDA-owned land and adjacent parcels; the board discussed costs, possible acquisition of non-city parcels, and funding options including SMIF and Give to the Max.
Becky Jones and Dan Dornick presented concept drawings for a Back Alley Beautification project on EDA-owned land at 60 1st Ave NW and adjacent privately owned parcels behind Estelles and Harmony Distillery. Presentation materials described fenced areas for trash and recycling and a potential pavilion or shelter to formalize a space already used for events.

Director Chris Hahn will reach out to adjacent businesses regarding possible acquisition and next steps.
