Clean up Downtown Tree Wells

One of the first noticeable changes will be the rejuvenation of downtown tree wells.

Install Three Pocket Parks

In an effort to provide green oases amidst the bustling streets, Chestertown is introducing three pocket parks.

Complete with comfortable seating, lush greenery, and possibly even artistic installations, these parks will add a touch of serenity to the town.

Brick Park Row Sidewalk

A significant improvement coming to Chestertown is the installation of a brick Park Row sidewalk. This charming, pedestrian-friendly pathway will be meticulously crafted to complement the town’s historic character. As you stroll along Park Row, you’ll feel the timeless allure of the brick underfoot, adding to the overall aesthetic appeal of the downtown area.

Enhancements to Downtown Parks and Recreation Spaces

To enrich the experience of visitors and residents, Chestertown is investing in enhancements to downtown parks and recreation spaces. These upgrades may include new seating areas, improved lighting, and the addition of amenities such as bike racks or water fountains. These improvements will ensure that parks and recreational areas become even more enjoyable and accessible to all.

Planters and Other Landscaping

To further enhance the visual appeal of Chestertown’s streets, the addition of planters and thoughtful landscaping will create a harmonious and welcoming atmosphere. Bursting with colorful flowers, native plants, and well-maintained greenery, these enhancements will breathe new life into the town’s public spaces. The careful selection of plant species will also promote biodiversity and environmental sustainability.
