Our
Projects

The Downtown Aberdeen Advisory Board (DAAB), committees and stakeholders collaborate to identify areas of opportunity and brainstorm unique solutions for enhancing infrastructure, facades and streetscapes and other downtown elements in a variety of ways.  These projects follow a 4-point strategy aligned with our annual work plan and funding.  These are a few examples of the various types of projects we have completed to date: 

Historic Preservation

Historic Downtown properties listed on the National Register of Historic Places received new plaques to replace old, worn out or missing signage.
