includes wash lights on the west side of the silos and roofs. The project would
require the installation of new electrical service and an electrical panel. The
Committee discussed the possibility of partnering with Blue Star Land on the
project, since they own the adjacent property. The Committee also requested an
updated estimate to include lighting on all sides of the silos. Members directed
staff to table the project for now and pursue it in conjunction with the Blue Star
development to the west of the silos.
b. Walkway Refinishing (RB)
Ms. Battle presented a quote for Spray -deck finishing on the walkway from Town

concrete, and it can be touched up by Town staff as needed. The cost estimate for
the project is $30,000. The Committee requested to table the discussion to a
future meeting.

Ms. Battle updated the Committee on the Downtown photo shoot that took place
last week to compile new photo assets to help market Downtown Prosper. The

separate web page on the Prosper Economic Development Corporation website.
Both sites are intended to promote Downtown as a destination. The websites
should go live in early August.
Ms. Battle shared that a new text message module will be implemented soon on
