Board of the CID recommended several street closures at their Tuesday meeting. City Council makes the actual decision on street closures, open container waivers and other event-related items.

The recommended street closures include:

A street closure of Eighth Street between Elm and Broadway on the following dates:

Sept. 8: vs. Georgia
