A rendering of future plans for Broughton St. shows the festival zone going in between Whitaker and Drayton streets. Construction on Broughton St. was the perfect storm when it first started in April 2020 and less and less tourists were able to travel to visit the city. Now, the project has become so much more than when it originally started, but lights at the end of the over-a-year long tunnel are being revealed bit by bit and the city is looking to celebrate their new streetscape with a block party Saturday, June 26. Susan Broker and her team in Project Communication serve as citizen liaisons for the project, connecting the businesses to a neutral party in the whole project and said the city put a ton into community engagement and input to make sure the project would benefit all parties.
