While the current site looks like a muddy construction zone, plans include new trees, gardens, and plazas, with phased development set to wrap by fall 2027. Local business owners are optimistic about increased foot traffic, and the mayor’s vision centers on public gathering spaces. Though the park remains fenced off until lighting is installed, the iconic tree lighting ceremony will still happen this year—location TBD. The future’s bright, even if it’s a few years away.
