Plymouth wraps up multi-year beautification project PLYMOUTH – New signs designating the boundary of the town’s cultural district mark the completion of a three-year project to spruce up downtown. The Public Art Initiative, started in 2017, saw the completion of colorful murals, artistic furniture and historic public portraits of Plymouth’s rich past – all within a short walk of the center of town. Festive and playful murals now grace walls that were once the target of vandals, and decorative benches, chairs and tables invite visitors and locals alike to sit down and enjoy their surroundings. The town coordinated the project with the Plymouth Bay Cultural District and the Plymouth Area Chamber of Commerce. Private donations through a crowd funding platform raised $13,000, which MassDevelopment matched to make the work possible.
