Courthouse Plaza is a new public gathering space in a former alleyway which stretches from West Main Street to King Avenue (near the old Davis Drug building).

The Courthouse Plaza project is part of a downtown streetscape masterplan, which has produced several upgrades to the downtown area including new navigational signage, new banners on light poles, new outdoor furnishings, and other beautifications.   

The Courthouse Plaza project transformed the section from West Main Street to King Avenue into a pedestrian plaza with lighting, public art, and the potential for other amenities. Funding for the project has been made possible by the federal government's American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA). 

History of the Alleyway

The alleyway is a portion of a road that surrounded the courthouse originally located where the intersection at the square now exists.
