"....$13,000 were granted for our enhancements on the holiday light display that Downtown Rhinelander, Inc. has been working on and partnering with the city. Last year they put the snowflakes up and this year they're adding the lighted pole wraps which this grant is being used to assist with...."
The downtown lighting in an ongoing project for Downtown Rhinelander, Inc. They've been working on replacing holiday lighting for several years. Makris says the new lights replace ones used for many years and are much more energy efficient. She says it will give the downtown an updated look for the holidays.
