Help Elevate Downtown by Supporting the Downtown Pathways Project, Phase 2! The project will transform an underutilized downtown alley into a welcoming, pedestrian-friendly gathering space. The project will add improved sidewalks, seating, public art, lighting, and security enhancements, creating a more attractive connection between downtown businesses and community spaces. This project continues Bluffton NOW!’s effort to revitalize downtown Bluffton and create vibrant spaces where residents, businesses, and visitors can gather and connect.
What We Are Creating
We are creating a vibrant, welcoming downtown gathering space that transforms an underutilized alley into a place for people to connect, relax, and enjoy downtown Bluffton.
