LEWISTON — Banners welcoming people to the Pine Street neighborhood, paid for with a grant awarded to Community Credit Union and the city of Lewiston, have been installed.
The banners were designed, created and installed with a $5,000 downtown beautification grant from Healthy Neighborhoods, a coalition of community stakeholders that has been working for several years to improve housing, stewardship, safety and access to food and medical services for downtown Lewiston.
The banners were printed and installed by Neokraft Signs in late August. There are 12 banners along Pine Street, from Kennedy Park to the intersection with Webster Street. Despite some challenges, the team at Community Credit Union felt it was important to keep moving the project ahead, as the banners are another beautification effort that inspire pride in the neighborhood.
Community Credit Union is a member-owned, full service financial institution that has been serving its members and all of Androscoggin County for 75 years. Community Credit union has branches at 144 Pine St., as well as 40 Stanley S. in Auburn, and 1025 Auburn Road in Turner.
