The Boyd Foundation partnered with the Main Street District and the City of Columbia to design an outdoor lighting plan for Columbia’s Main Street.
Phase One of the plan will involve placing uplights and decorative lighted balls in the four historic oak trees on each corner of six intersections, from Laurel Street all the way down to the State House. In addition, bistro lights will be strung along both sides of Main Street, enhancing visibility and safety.
Phase Two will include uplights and decorative lighted balls in other significant trees between the intersections as well as uplights in the palmetto trees. The Foundation is underwriting the cost of this project, which is expected to be completed by the end of 2026.
