The town will hold a community meeting on Friday, Jan. 3, from 8 to 9 a.m. to explain and receive public input on phase two of the downtown streetscape project. Sidewalk work and landscaping and lighting improvements will start in April on N. Santa Cruz Avenue, from just south of Highway 9 to just north of Bachman Avenue. Along with N.
