In 2015, Girard was chosen by KDOT as one of several projects to receive funding for a Streetscape improvement project. These enhancements included LED street lighting, plantings, new sidewalks, curb, and gutters.
Additionally, twelve 25-inch diamonds were placed on each side of the outside blocks of the square for a total of 48 diamonds that were intended to mark the history of buildings at these spots.
Girard Area Main Street is offering sponsorship diamonds for these historical markers around the square! Each diamond will include a piece of information that pertains to its location with funds going to support Girard Main Street.
Diamond Sponsorship:
1 DIAMOND $250
2 DIAMONDS $500
3 DIAMONDS $750
4 DIAMONDS $1000
Each diamond will include a sign with the sponsor or individual’s name and historical facts for that location.
