Celebrating a Main Street milestone

On Aug. 28, we reopened the first block of the Main Street Promise project with a community block party in downtown Vancouver. Neighbors, business owners, and partners gathered on the 1400 block to celebrate this step toward a safer, more vibrant and connected Main Street.
