Ultimately, over 20 businesses worked with the City <br />and us to establish outdoor barricaded patios. Those patios are in the process of <br />being converted into semi -permanent wood structures with a more uniform look. <br />FIRST STREET BANNERS <br />We elevated the 115-year family story of local artist Gene Jimenez into a series of <br />street pole banners along First Street that help identify the downtown district. <br />ENVISIONING A REVITILIZED CIVIC CENTER TOGETHER <br />We worked with the Ctiy of Santa Ana Planning Department and UCLA Urban <br />Planning on a process of reviewing and promoting a new way of thinking of the OC <br />Civic Center that includes more ecological features and greenspace, in -fill <br />development and a more mixed -use character. <br />FARMERS MARKET <br />We worked with the City and Native Harvest Events to open a Farmers Market to <br />serve the community on Tuesdays with fresh produce (accepts EBT/WIC). <br />Downtown Inc Annual Report 2020/2021 <br />07 <br />
