The city of Daphne is looking for ways to make its downtown more appealing to business and walking traffic.
A plan is underway to address those issues and more, but it won’t be cheap and will take several years to complete.
“This is something that look, every administration has always talked about and this area has always talked about. The main thing is underground utilities, trying to get those underground,” said Daphne Mayor Robin LeJeune. “It beautifies the area…so what we did is say, okay, if we’re going to have this type of expense, well what can we do to really enhance our downtown area?”
“We want this to be a very walkable, business-friendly area and we think this is a great way to do that and it will entice businesses to come down here and really add to the character of downtown,” LeJeune explained.
