“Since last year’s transformation project, The BLVD has grown rapidly and new shops are being added all over. It’s a great location for Christmas shopping,” said Mayor Parris. “I encourage everyone to come early to shop, and enjoy a bite to eat at one of our local restaurants. Plus, when you come early, you get the best parking.”
