What’s Happening in the Village

by Bob Lund

2007 IN REVIEW

We had quite a year. Many new and exciting things happened and continue to happen to the Village. Your Association is very active in making the Village a more attractive and distinctive destination for locals and tourists alike.

 

What happened during the year:

o We purchased new banners for all of the new light poles that we now have in the Village at an additional cost of over $6,000.00. o We purchased and had erected a new, bold sign on the 101 freeway south of town for a cost of $5,000.00.

 

o We, along with the City of Arroyo Grande, sponsored the creation of Arroyo Grande in Bloom. It now has a core management group of 13 people, coordinated by Bob Lund and Jim Bergman from the Community Development Department. It also has recruited over 50 volunteers that assist in the eight areas that the City will judged on for the America in Bloom competition. We came in second in our population size in 2007 and are endeavoring to come in first for 2008. If you are interested in volunteering, please call Bob Lund at 710-4049.

o We welcomed many new businesses in the Village during the year. These include Vintage Home, Stella Casa, Mari Robeson, Jillians, Reach Mortgage, Sophie’s Soaps, Wildwood Winery plus a new owner for The Wardrobe.
