Courthouse Plaza 

Courthouse Plaza is a new public gathering space in a former alleyway which stretches from West Main Street to King Avenue.

The Courthouse Plaza project is part of a downtown streetscape masterplan, which has produced several upgrades to the downtown area including new navigational signage, new banners on light poles, new outdoor furnishings, and other beautifications.    

Funding for the project has been made possible by the federal government's American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA). The alleyway is a portion of a road that surrounded the courthouse originally located where the intersection at the square now exists. Click here to see a live view.
