And it’s all just in time for the holidays.

“The public is invited to attend the ceremony under the majestic holiday lights and visit stores and restaurants in the Old Town Business District before and after the event,” the news release said. “Their doors will be open to greet you!”

There ceremony is set to take place at 6 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 19, and officials say it’s a simple way to thank you to the public and businesses for their patience and support throughout the construction.
