HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Some new banners will start showing up in the downtown area soon.

Recently the Hutchinson/Reno County Chamber of Commerce took on the role of promotion for Downtown Hutchinson. In an effort to engage all downtown stakeholders, a Downtown Coalition was formed and meets the second Wednesday of each month.

One item that arose from those meetings was the need for new streetlight banners along Main Street. To make this happen, the Downtown Design Committee has developed three banner designs incorporating the new Hutchinson Flag, which will be installed in the coming month.

Sponsorship to help cover the costs of the banners are available for $75. For more information on sponsorship, contact the chamber at 620-662-3391, or go to hutchchamber.com.
