The successful revitalization of our downtown and the partnerships that made it all happen are highlighted in a new video available to view on-line and on BTV10.
Ten years ago, the City of Bellingham sponsored downtown development workshops to continue ongoing community efforts to revitalize the City Center after the mall and other factors emptied downtown of much of its business and retail activity.
The video celebrates the successes that have occurred since that time, including re-development at the corner of Railroad and Holly Street, Depot Market Square, new businesses and facade improvements, historic renovations, affordable housing, public art, street and landscaping improvements, and the restoration of Maritime Heritage Park and Whatcom Creek.
Produced by the City of Bellingham, the video premiered in September at a reception hosted by the City and the Downtown Renaissance Network to celebrate the people and projects that led to renewed activity and economic health in downtown Bellingham.
