	Downtown Streetscape Plan enhancing the appearance of Garner road and main street The Streetscape Design for Garner Road and Main Street has the potential to be an economic catalyst for all of Downtown Garner. The Streetscape Design should physically articulate the uniqueness of Garner’s community, its history, its people and future growth and development. The design will address areas of concern such as road cross-section needs, pedestrian facility needs, safety issues, street lighting needs, landscape needs, sight furnishing needs, driveway locations, parking, utility issues and all other considerations.
	Façade Grant Program financial assistance for improvements The Garner Revitalization Association (GRA) is pleased to announce a Façade Grant Program that will help enhance properties and improve the overall appearance of Downtown Garner. The Facade Grant Program will provide up to $5,000 in financial assistance to property owners for improvements made to the façades of buildings in the Downtown Garner Central Business District.

	North Garner Plan north garner small area plan A demand existed with certain segments of the Town’s population to focus efforts on revitalizing the North Garner area. There has been the perception that over the years, as the Town grew, the old central business district received little attention. The Town was also targeted for the third phase of transit development for the Triangle Transit Authority (TTA). This requires the delineation of transit stops and/or park-and-ride sites.
	H.O.P.E. Playground H.O.P.E - Healthy outdoor play for everyone! This handicap accessible playground is located at the entrance of Garner Recreational Park at 213 East Garner Road. It features typical playground amenities and also includes unique features such as an access ramp into the play area, a transfer station and special steps to accommodate children using assistive devices and unique swings with harnesses to assist users with varying levels of mobility.
