KINGSTON – City contractors have reached substantial completion on the Uptown Kingston signboard construction work, which repaired 22 storefronts on North Front and Wall streets to finish the facades where the Pike Plan was previously attached. “We have done has much as possible to help the businesses through this transition and we hope that Uptown will flourish with this new beginning,” said Mayor Steven Noble. “We look forward to seeing what additional improvements the property owners will make to continue to beautify the Stockade District.” After the Pike Plan removal, the city gave settlements to property owners for repairs to their facades.

In addition to the settlements and signboard work, the city awarded 12 minor exterior improvements grants to Stockade Business District property owners for signage and awnings.
