The BID’s self-funded $18.5 million streetscape project (“The New North”) was celebrated on June 25th when Cherry Creek North hosted a grand opening event on the renovated Fillmore Plaza. An estimated 6,000 people attended this free festival, which featured live musical performances from Flash Cadillac, Lannie Garrett and the Gypsy Swing Revue and others. “The New North” project includes new landscaping, lighting, better identity and wayfinding signage, 20 new Art and Garden spaces and upgraded infrastructure. It is the first major renovation to the area since 1989. The design and construction costs were paid for by the BID. No City funds were used for the project.
