downtown beautification 2023

help us beautify downtown again this year!

We are looking for sponsors to help us beautify our downtown with beautiful flowers again this year!

For $50, individuals, businesses, or organizations can sponsor a flat of flowers that will be planted around the tree bases throughout downtown. Each sponsor will have small sign acknowledging their generosity that will be placed near their tree. We will be organizing a planting and clean-up day again this year, the date will be announced soon.

Donations may be made online below or by mailing a check to:
Alpena DDA, 124 E. Chisholm St., Alpena, MI 49707.

It’s always exciting when a new project to beautify the DDA district is brought to us by someone who appreciates the value in small investments that have a big impact, thanks Julie! Planting vibrant flowers in the tree bases will add visual appeal and make the DDA even more spectacular this summer season. It has been my pleasure to work with Anne Gentry, Rachel Smolinski and Julie Dietz on this project and I can’t wait to see the flowers in full bloom.”
