Community Projects

In an effort to connect the community, support local arts, and spruce up the downtown area, we are focusing on new projects and commitments from the ABA. We are always seeking new ways to support our community, so if you have ideas or would like to volunteer or get involved with any of these initiatives, please contact us at athenscommunityconnect@gmail.com.

Clean-Up Initiatives
While we encourage everyone to take pride in their neighborhoods and the environment, we will be hosting quarterly clean-ups in downtown and the surrounding areas. Please follow our Facebook page for upcoming dates.

Planter Project
As part of our downtown beautification efforts, ABA businesses have been provided with planters to place in front of their buildings. These businesses are responsible for maintaining their planters. If you would like to have a planter at your establishment, please contact us.

Murals
The ABA is partnering with the ‘Friends of Valley Arts’ organization to bring color and life back to the downtown area. More concrete plans and locations will be announced in 2026. Please follow our Facebook page for updates!

Borough Projects
The ABA will be collaborating with the Borough on future projects to update existing spaces and create new ones. Follow our Facebook page for information as it becomes available!
