Sponsors sought for West Kingston Road streetscape redevelopment

Sponsorship opportunities are available for the continued redevelopment of planting strips along West Kingston Road to the Village Green.

The redevelopment is a project of the Kingston Stakeholders, a subcommittee of the Greater Kingston Chamber of Commerce. Last summer, a small portion was redeveloped and now the Stakeholders hope to grow the project this fall and winter, a good time for new plantings to get established in the ground and benefit from winter rains.

Ten-foot sections can be sponsored for $300. Sections will vary with material content and a rock will be placed in or near each sponsored section with the sponsor’s name.

The strips will be low maintenance, implemented with low-impact development practices that support community involvement and contribute to a cohesive, vibrant streetscape while serving as a good model for future development.

The design replaces existing trees with appropriate street trees, creating concentrated planting areas surrounded by bands of pervious concrete and cobblestone.
