More May Flowers…

As we enter Spring, hopefully, the flowers and trees will bloom Downtown.  This year the Downtowners and the City of Bismarck will launch an Adopt a Planter program aimed at West Downtown.  Currently, there is little greenery west of 3rd Street, which has traditionally been more industrial.  The City has flower planters that can no longer be located at the Civic Center.  Those dozen planters will be placed along Broadway Ave from 3rd Street to Washington this Spring.  Businesses can Adopt a Planter for $150 for this season, which includes all the plant materials, design, caring instructions, and a plaque designating the adopting business.  The sponsor will also have to water and tend the planter they’ve adopted.  At the end of the growing season this fall, they will be removed for snow clearance.  If you’re interested in Adopting a Planter, please contact Kate at the Downtowners. Kate@downtownbismarck.com. 

Petroleum Conference/Downtown

Bismarck’s largest conference, the Williston Basin Petroleum Conference, will be May 20-22.  Organizers are expecting a tremendous year.  We’re encouraging all of our Downtown retailers, service providers, and restaurants to consider extended hours or consider opening those days if you are not already doing so.  Many of the attendees are looking for places to eat, drink, shop, and patronize.  Thousands will be on hand for the conference and it’s a great opportunity to showcase our growing Downtown.  If you’d like more information on the conference, contact the Downtowners office.  701-223-1958.
