Additional concrete walkways and space for vendors, along with lighting and electrical service, are among about $1 million in improvements completed at Portage’s Founders Square, pictured on Friday, June 7. They come in handy for the farmers markets and others there.
Holladay Properties built mixed-use structures that offer commercial space on the first floor and residential on the upper floors. Now people who visit the accessible playground and other amenities at Founders Square can visit restaurants there, too. Portage’s Founders Square, pictured on Friday, June 7, 2024, has seen a host of improvements in recent years.
