Easton Residents Invited to Join Creative Placemaking Meeting

Join the Easton EDC, Creative Placemaking Consultant Deborah Patterson, and East End Neighborhood community members to review the projects and suggestions resulting from the first meetings in October, 2025, and narrow down the projects we want to complete this year.

On Saturday, March 21st, 2026, residents and stakeholders are invited to The Market at Dover Station (500 Dover Rd) to explore the collaborative power of Creative Placemaking.

“At our last meeting, the group developed some great project ideas,” stated Holly DeKarske, Executive Director of Easton EDC. “One of which was executed with the Christmas Tree Lighting and celebration at Triangle Park. We want to build on that momentum this year with additional projects, including pedestrian safety through the arts, art installations, branding, and more. We encourage the community to join us in prioritizing the list of short- and long-term projects we want to pursue.”

The Creative Placemaking process is an organic, bottom-up, inclusive opportunity for residents and stakeholders to reimagine their neighborhood spaces through their own original ideas and imagination.

This event is open to all and free, and will be held at the Market at Dover Station, 500 Dover Rd, Easton, from 10:00 am to 11:30 am.
