The Crestone Redevelopment Project is a partnership between ScSEED and the Town of Crestone to build capacity for renovating and redeveloping the streetscape within the downtown commercial district. The Crestone Master Plan presents a preliminary vision for encouraging a pedestrian friendly downtown, which might include: sidewalks that include pedestrian supportive features such as benches, landscaping and signage; parallel parking along sidewalks; bicycle parking, etc.
The Saguache Downtown Revitalization Project is entering it's final phase! Street Renovations and Improvements are almost finished and funds are being secured to implement the final peice of the vision- the purchase and construction of a Pocket Park next to the Ute Theatre! Thanks to the community, Town Trustees, Partners and other supporters who have made this project a success! Click here for more information.
