The board was set to consider adding illuminated holiday decorations to the Tweedy Mile business corridor for the 2026/27 season, funded through the business improvement district's roughly $48,510 budget. Key questions included decoration style, how much of the corridor to cover, and whether renting or buying decorations is the better deal.
