If you have been out on the streets of downtown recently, you have likely noticed the combination of large and smaller planters with greenery, plants, and blooms.  The Adopt A Pot program is part of the DDA’s beautification efforts, and the pots are getting good reviews.  The sponsorship signs are now installed.

Sponsorships are $300 for one year.  Five planters still need sponsors.  If you would like to sponsor, reach out to the DDA office at 318-222-7403.  Thanks to these sponsors.
