NORWICH Even though the holiday lights aren’t in the downtown year, the Norwich Community Development Corp. is working on a way for decorative lights to be in the city year round.
The Broadway and Main Street Streetscape Lighting Project, introduced in an August report from NCDC, the Chelsea Groton Foundation and Global City Norwich, consists of having zigzagging LED lights along the intersection of Broadway and Main Street. Work on the project began this past week, and will be finished and lit this coming week, said Global City Norwich liaison Suki Lagrito.
The report said the project is a part of the larger Places/Spaces/Faces effort by Global City Norwich, which seeks to use “murals, lighting, and other space activation, to increase vibrancy.”
