Republic Square - Phase 1a Complete

Phase 1b of our 4,000 square foot deck project under the central Auction Oak Tree is substantially complete, with fencing now removed. The Farmers Market held their first market day in the park and will be using the deck soon. Please stay off the newly laid sod and please don't climb or hang on the central auction oak - its over 300 years old! Please check latest updates on our blog or view our Flickr photostream.
