A proposed project that would help improve the aesthetics in downtown Fowlerville is a state finalist for a Consumers Energy grant.
The âArt in the Villeâ project would help beautify the downtown area by having several murals or structures painted by local artists. The idea behind it is to create excitement and attract more visitors while improving many walls that have been in despair. The goal is to complete 2 or 3 such displays each year for several years. This week, the Consumers Energy Foundation announced that âArt in the Villeâ is one of 10 finalists in the âPut Your Town on the Mapâ competition.
