[MCN] NEWS ALERT// Downtown Holiday Decor Returns!

[Madeleine Hoyt]

*DOWNTOWN HOLIDAY DÉCOR GOING UP **MDA & MDF STILL RAISING FUNDS FOR
ELECTRICAL WIRING REPAIRS*

Santa’s Elves are hanging the holiday decorations in Downtown Missoula this
week, as four employees from Missoula’s Urban Forestry Division spend the
next several days sprucing up Downtown for the upcoming holidays.

For more than 25 years, the Missoula Downtown Association (MDA) and the
City of Missoula have partnered together to decorate Downtown for the
holidays. The MDA owns and maintains close to 150 decorations: candles,
Christmas Trees, and white snowflakes. City Urban Forestry Division
employees hang and take them down each year.

With the infrastructure nearly 30 years old, the MDA and the Missoula
Downtown Foundation have partnered to raise funds for electrical upgrades
for the last two years. Last year all the electrical outlets on the street
lights were replaced at a cost of $20,000. This year’s goal is to replace
all the electrical wiring between the street lights, which is expected to
cost $35,000.
