Hillcrest Business Association Executive Director and Hillcrest CDC Board Member will be presenting an update on the current plans for Pride Plaza and Hillcrest's Civic Space. There are a number of options that are being considered for the space and a number of phases. Some of the most important questions that need to be answered by the community include how the early phases will be paid for, what will the early phases look like and who will be responsible for the space as the phases are completed? Come of the Hillcrest Town Council and hear about this long talked about project that is finally getting off the ground.
