Come Visit Paradise’s New Downtown Area
In the past few years, the Town and builders have been hard at work to complete the downtown area. Using a pre-fire grant of $7 million, the Town has used this money to update:
- Roadways
- Sidewalks
- Curbs and gutters
- Bike paths
- Lighting
- Landscaping
Now, you can stroll along sidewalks with friends and family. Enjoy the bike paths that provide a safe passage. The new lighting makes walking around at night much easier. And contemporary landscaping makes Paradise feel just like home.
