Downtown Garden City Gets a Facelift

Creating and maintaining an attractive appearance is important to the Downtown Development Authority. Downtown is often the first impression a visitor gets of the community and its businesses. Using captured taxes from the downtown businesses, several city-owned parking lots were resurfaced this summer with TIF funding for the $58,000. project. Additional parking lot and dumpster enclosure work is pending to complete the project estimated at $19,000. Many of the parking lots are shared by the businesses and support the parking needs of the downtown.

The decorative streetlight fixtures, installed with the streetscape in 1998, are being cleaned and painted with a gloss finish to match the recently installed mast arms at Ford and Middlebelt. Streetlights are typically painted after ten years with periodic cleaning. Tax Increment Financing “TIF” is funding the $23,000 project.
