Since 1908. by Nekludov July 20113 by Nekludov EDITORIAL/OEditorial/OpinionPINION Plainfield’s Pride: A renovated Town Center In Plainfield the phrase Plainfield Pride can immediately conjure up images of athletic prowess at the high school level. With all due respect, we’d like to offer a different take on Plainfield Pride: a renovated Town Center. Plainfield town officials recently held a ribbon cutting to celebrate the completion of Town Center renovations – a project that has been in the works over two years and has greatly enhanced the area, not only from an infrastructural standpoint but an $800,000 facade facelift that looks fabulous. Yes, for the past couple of years traffic has been a mess between Carr and Vestal Roads, and it has no doubt been an inconvenience for those folks traveling routinely through the area; isn’t there always a price to pay? But look around. We think it was worth it. So we say here’s to town officials for their vision and to the businesses – many of them new – that call Main Street/Town Center home. We are hopeful that town officials will continue to foster a vision for Main Street/Town Center and that businesses that are there now can prosper for years to come.
