The James F.B. Peyton Foundation and The Lewisburg Foundation (LF) are collaborating to develop new landscaped parking spaces on the west end of downtown Lewisburg.
LF is purchasing the land (previously True Value) developing the plan with Terradon Corporation and contracting with Boxell Solutions, LLC to manage the construction.
Josh Polan, Jerry Janiga and TAG Galyean will donate Landscape and Architectural design services. Boxell is also donating to the project and excluding all overhead and profit on their work.
Present plans show 30 public parking spaces, 28 trees, and a retaining wall faced with historic bricks salvaged from the recently demolished Church Street building.
LF membership funds will not be used for this capital improvement. Membership funds plant, mow, water, prune, fertilize, and replace downtown horticulture. Those costs now run about $50,000 per year and include a 10-year tree replacement program.
