Local businesses encouraged to help beautify downtown

Wellington Colorado Main Street Program is accepting sponsorship applications for Downtown Beautification Project 2015, an initiative to spruce up downtown Wellington.

The projects planned for this summer include the installation of colorful flowerpots with “thrillers, spillers and fillers” and distinctive banners to call attention to Wellington’s downtown area from Interstate 25. The hope is to have these two projects completed and installed by Memorial Day. The projects are part of the overall master plan of the Wellington Main Street Design Committee.
