The City of Douglas is seeking public comment on revitalization plans for downtown area. The community would prefer preservation of the historic area rather than modernization.
DOUGLAS, Ariz. — The City of Douglas is seeking public comments on the designs for its downtown revitalization project.
The three designs show improvements to the infrastructure of the street and the sidewalks. G Avenue, from 9th to 12th street, would be narrowed so the sidewalks can be widened. Huish said the expansion of the sidewalks would allow restaurants to have outdoor seating and businesses to have products for sale outside.
“Look at these beautiful buildings," Braverman said."Lets fix the fronts of them. Let's work with the city owners. Instead of doing their garish thing that no one wants.” Douglas council members Jose Grijalva and Danya Acosta have heard from business owners and others about the concerns they have with the pending project and have passed the messages to the city employees. They share the same concerns as the community when it comes to spending a large amount of money on one project instead of on making the downtown area safe.
