The project is now substantially complete!! (November 24, 2009) Verizon is still installing Fios and that will be ongoing thru January. Benches will get installed Mid December. The contractor is finishing a few punch list items. The Streetscape celebration party last Saturday (November 14) was a huge success with about 200 people attending for probably GGP's largest turnout. Many thanks to the Party Committee! We are considering what do to for art, in the two openings at the entry sign. One idea was a pair of bronze dolphins and we had a sample to look at. We're open to ideas and we like your input. Send you ideas to Denise. The bronze as to color seems to go well with the sign and letters. A "smooth" object as opposed to something with fine detail, is going to read better from the street. However whether it's a dolphin, a shell or even something else, we're open. Is there something that defines GGP??
