Changes, changes and more changes will give Willmore City Historic District a spruced up look this year.
New historic signs have been designed and will be added to seven initial locations around the Willmore City Historic District this year.
The signs will be used to welcome guests into the neighborhood and direct residents and visitors to historic locations.
The signs will be located at Fourth Street and Magnolia Avenue, 10th Street and Park Court, Sixth Street and Chestnut Avenue, Seventh Street and Cedar Avenue, 10th and Magnolia, Chester Place and Loma Vista Drive, and Chestnut and Loma Vista, and Virginia Court from 11th Street connecting to Moro Court & Loma Vista.
The Willmore business district has had upgrades between Ninth & 10th streets, including the Willmore Five and Dime, which will debut on the northeast corner of 10th and Daisy Avenue.
All curbs in the corridor will be repainted with the possibility of new parking opportunities created.
Nine new trees and three new bike racks will be added around the Daisy Avenue business corridor.\
Tree lighting and banners will be added, and new trash cans will be installed at Sixth and Magnolia, Fifth and Daisy, Sixth and Cedar, 10th and Pacific Avenue, Third Street and Magnolia.
Community Development purchased the run down property at 1054 Maine Avenue, with plans to convert it to senior housing. The two story development will be restored and downsized to improve parking and beautify the neighborhood.
Community Development also has purchased the home at 922 Magnolia, and will be restoring it with the help of the Willmore City Heritage Association.
There also are plans to green Daisy Avenue, from Third to Anaheim Street.
The expansion of a new Drake Park is moving along. Almost all of the funding for an environmental impact report has been secured.
