The Mosaic benches are now in place, except for two that are awaiting site prepration.
The week of August 17 - 23 was the time spent placing the benches at their permanent location. One bench is located at Gordo City Hall, another at Gordo High School, one at First National Bank of Central Alabama, Gordo and at West Alabama Bank & Trust, Gordo. A bench will be placed on the West side of Main Street when site prepration is completed. The other mosaic bench will be located at J' Outlet when they move to their new location, corner of Main Street and US Hwy 82, after Labor Day. "Bloom Where you are Planted" is the theme for the bench project.
Come to Gordo to see these benches' and you will also see smiling faces and hear a friendly Howdy.
The Mosaic benches' were made possible by a grant to The Gordo Area Community Development foundation by the Black Belt Arts Initative.
