The downtown business corridor of Jamestown, ND is adjusting to the economic impact of new big box stores at the edge of town. In an effort to draw interest and foot traffic to the downtown corridor, The Arts Park will lead a participatory design process for an outdoor performance and public art plaza near the downtown art center. The space will allow for long-term programming to serve members of the community and visitors while fueling local businesses.
