Before the pandemic, dreamers and futurists who long to see the most unique parts of Columbia's downtown heritage brought back to life took action. Members of the Community Investment Committee created a buzz, made a video and the City entered the Ben and Erin Napier HGTV Series 'Home Town Takeover'. They did not select Columbia. So Columbia is just moving along on its own hometown makeover. The Paint the Town II project voted on by the City Council helps downtown business owners move ahead on their own - this example created by Alexis Jennings shows what painting and fixing up will do for one of the corner buildings. So take that, HGTV! Comments | Permalink Older Photos
