We have collected bids from several companies locally and nationwide and selected one that has the history and experience in downtown speakers. The quote includes 12 speaker sets that will be mounted on the light poles already in place downtown. This will provide four per block, providing ample reach in the three-block downtown. As soon as the money is in hand, we can order the speaker sets, which will be installed by the City of Claremore as soon as possible. We hope to see the system fully in place in the middle of the summer of 2018.
Music is powerful. We know this, and we feel it missing from our downtown. Something that may seem small and unimportant can make all the difference once it's in place. In looking at case studies across the country, we know this will make an economic impact in our downtown in addition to the quality of life improvement for the social core of the community. Representatives from downtown business owners, the Claremore Collective, local economic developement authorities as well as city and county officials all see the value in this project, which is truly for all of us. We hope you do as well.
Local businesses and organizations also see the value and are willing to match donations dollar-for-dollar. Be watching for matching funds from the Downtown Claremore Merchant Association, Claremore Museum of History, The District on Main, Grand River Dam Authority and RCB Bank.
