Perryville: A pleasant atmosphere
Wednesday, October 25, 2006
As part of a beautification project, the entire downtown of Perryville is being renovated. The Square has been transformed into a showcase with newly completed streets, decorative sidewalks, "Washington" style light fixtures and decorative tree plantings. At the center of the Square sits the Perry County courthouse with its chiming clock tower. Also accenting the downtown area are brick paved plazas, landscaped seating areas, park benches, a sundial, a drinking fountain, a directional marker and a gazebo.
