Re: Downtown Nashua Holiday Lights/Decorations Expenditure
Request
This memo is to seek approval for holiday lights and decorations in downtown. The request is for $11,275.82.
Funding Source(s)
There are two funding sources for this expenditure.
In the FY°18 budget for civic and community activities general fund $10,000.00 is available for this specific initiative.
In addition, the economic development’s departmental budget for marketing will accommodate the $1,275.82, which
brings us to a total of $11,275.82 for this project.
Background
This project is being executed by Great American Downtown (“GAD”). There is a committee of public/private
participants that have worked over a couple of years to formulate a holiday decorations plan now that the Main Street
sidewalk improvement project has been completed. If you recall the city started last year with the first phase of the
program and this is a continuation of this beautification initiative.
The funding specifically will go towards a garland as depicted in the attached image(s).
Deliverable
58 Garland Pine Wraps of varying sizes (46 wraps will be lit).
Attachments: I) Invoice
2) Image of garland
