(BLOOMINGTON) – The improvement and activation of three blocks of alleys around the downtown square is among the public improvement projects announced in Bloomington’s bicentennial year that have seen substantial progress in 2020.
Proposed by Mayor John Hamilton as a gift to Bloomington’s future and supported by a $10 million bond approved by the Bloomington Common Council in 2018, these investments in accessibility and quality of life have provided additional value during this year’s public health and economic crises by expanding opportunities for safe, outdoor recreation and fostering employment.
