The Town of Coats’ renovation of a downtown parking lot has allowed this to become a gathering place for concerts and events.
Seating, landscaping, and a Farmers Day mural (by artist Elyse Johnson) have made the space more inviting.
The Coats Area Chamber of Commerce has developed a concert series known as “Crank-Up Coats.”
This brings residents and visitors to local shops and restaurants before concerts.
The new space has also been used by farm vendors and food trucks during special events.
We hope these types of small improvements will continue to lead to attractive spaces, business development, and more community events in the future.
