Today the first shovels went into the ground at Heritage Park, right across from City Hall.
In two years, this spot becomes Heritage Plaza, place to gather, slow down, and be together. Concerts. Farmers markets. Quiet evenings that turn into good memories.
Standing behind us was the Larkin Newton Log Cabin, built in 1848. It's one of the oldest pieces of Midlothian's history. Today it watched a new chapter begin.
When a city builds a place people want to spend time, foot traffic follows. And foot traffic is what keeps local shops, restaurants, and offices alive. A $17 million investment downtown is the city saying, out loud, that it believes in this district.
This took years of planning and a lot of people who love this town: our Parks Board, Community Development, Economic Development, city staff, and neighbors who kept showing up.
I am glad to call this place home. And if you own a business here, or you have thought about opening one, this is a downtown worth watching.
