PROJECTS

Located on the SE corner of N. Main & E. Amos streets: originally a grain mill, and most recently used for pallet recycling, this now empty lot will be transformed into a new Downtown Park & Plaza.

The new Downtown Park & Plaza will serve the Hesston Community with a green space, plaza, stage, and plenty of space for gathering with friends and neighbors.  The park will become a beautiful extension of downtown Hesston joining the retail district to the south with the Public Library and other businesses to the North.

The Born Learning Trail is a series of 10 interactive, colorful, and educational signs designed by the United Way to create, fun, active learning opportunities for young children and their families in public parks or walking paths. These trails promote early literacy, language, and motor skills through simple, interactive, bilingual (English/Spanish) games that encourage parents to engage with their children while outdoors.
