Progress on historic Haning Street corner building
Howe's downtown is starting to have a bit of an Austin flavor with the paint. What does the 1872 stand for? 1872 was the year the city of Howe was founded. Also, Jim Jackson Electrical Services completely rewired the entire building preparing for concrete this week. Gooseneck lights will hang on the exterior wall shining down on the mural.
Howe Development Alliance is new name for Howe's economic development program Back in September of last year, Howe annoucned that they were forming an economic development sector within the city and hired Monte Walker as the Director of the Economic Development program. Since then, not only has Walker been working with Realtors and investors, but also working on a name for the organization and a logo. Howe Development Alliance will serve as the city's economic development name and will move into the new office at 101 E. Haning St. as soon as the location is ready after construction. The name was derived with a tip of the cap to Denison's DDA (Denison Development Alliance) because of their extreme willingness to help Howe with the formation of the program.
