Next time you go through Algoma you’ll see a fresh coat of paint on a couple of the town’s businesses. Since the Community Improvement of Algoma’s original mural project with buildings in town in 2006, they had touch-ups done to them, which led to the idea to add a couple more murals to area businesses this week. Community Improvement Board President Nicole Meverden said that they wanted murals to be painted this year that were more contemporary-based. With the help of the staff at Yonder, Community Improvement came up with the idea of a “park of flowers” floral mural which you can see on 2nd street, and a Paint By Number mural that you can view at Steele Street. Meverden says the town seems to enjoy the new murals.

Meverden adds that it would be nice to do more murals in future years.
