Chamber of Commerce volunteers worked with the Monticello Downtown Network Committee to prepare and hang flowering baskets around Monticello’s town square.
Each year, our Monticello Downtown Network committee members plan and develop new improvements and additions to the Historic Downtown Commercial District.
In 2021 MDN was responsible for adding the large mural located on the building at the southwest corner of the square. Plans for 2022 projects will be announced soon.
