Imagine Downtown Concord

What do you see?

Imagine Downtown Concord today, in 5 years, 10 years or even 50 years. What does it look like? How do you experience Downtown Concord today, and how would you like to experience it in the future? The City of Concord wants to know the community’s answer to these questions and more as we create a unifying brand identity for Downtown Concord.

The community is invited to take a brief online survey and share what Downtown Concord means to them. The survey will be open for two weeks.

Downtown Streetscape Update

This week, Streetscape crews were able to eliminate all the old water lines and completed tying in the new water lines on Union Street to the existing lines on Barbrick Ave. Crews were also able to remove all the old fire hydrants and tied in the replacement hydrants to the newly installed water lines on Union.

During and after rainfall, debris that has gathered on streets and sidewalks can clog storm drains. When large amounts of debris collects in storm drains, it can cause problems like street flooding and negatively impact the water quality of the streams and rivers into which they flow into, harming fish and wildlife.

You can help by removing leaves, sticks, and other debris that collect at the storm drains near your home, and always remember – only rain down the drain!
