Houdini Plaza work set to start

Construction is supposed to start today on the Houdini Plaza renovation project in downtown Appleton.

Jennifer Stephany of Appleton Downtown Inc. says they hope the weather cooperates over the next several months, because they want to finish the work before the first outdoor Farm Market, in mid-June.

Stephany says they'll have a better layout for the farm market, and the Thursday night concert series in the summer. She says they're already hearing from groups that are interested in hosting events there, and that's the impact they were hoping the improvements would have.

The renovations will cost $1.5 million. They include a fountain, and spaces for large and small events.

The city is contributing $1 million, and there's a fundraising effort to collect the remaining $500,000.
