Small Changes Grant awarded for $3000.00

On June 1st, 2006 Mission Hill Main Streets received a grant for $3,000.00 to install hanging planters on facades of businesses throughout the MH business district. The award is being put to use to implement this program for the year 2007. Look for a beautiful addition to Mission Hill in June of 2007. We are currently working with Design Committee member Barbara Peterson and Mission Hill resident Sean Clarke to design, plant and install the baskets throughout April and May.
