Over the next few weeks and months, we will see construction activity on the town square in Buena Vista as work begins on our downtown beautification and restoration project.
We are excited for this work and the opportunities it will bring to our hometown! However, we also know there will be some potential challenges with street closures, temporary parking changes, and congestion downtown.
We will do our very best to ensure that our business remains open and accessible throughout the duration of the construction process and we are hopeful that our customers will be patient and understanding.
Our business is our livelihood, both for us and more importantly, for our fourteen (14) employees. We appreciate your patronage and for continuing to dine with us, even though access to parking may be a bit challenging at times.
Please know that we appreciate you and we are super excited about this project and the much needed facelift that it will bring to our community.
We are also thankful to Mayor Kevin Brown, the City of Buena Vista, the Chamber of Commerce, and those who have worked for the last decade to bring this project to life!
We will be sure to share out any and all details as they become available. In the meantime, if you have questions, please let us know!
🚧 DOWNTOWN BUENA VISTA IS MOVING FORWARD! PLEASE SHARE WITH OTHERS!🚧
This week you will notice construction activity downtown, specifically on 4th Avenue. This work represents another important step in our effort to improve, revitalize, and bring new life to the City of Buena Vista.
Phase 1 of our Downtown Development Project is underway!
📅 August 17–31, 2026
💧 Phase 1: Water Line Relocation
📍 4th Avenue from Broad Street to McDuffie Street (in front of Foxhall, Coffee Club Southern Kitchen, Los Aztecas Mexican Restaurant, etc.)
During this phase, there will be temporary changes to traffic flow and parking in the construction area. Our downtown businesses will remain OPEN, and alternative parking spaces will be available.
Phase 2 (Street Resurfacing, Sidewalk Enhancements, etc.) will begin immediately afterwards. Construction plans will be shared at a later date.
I especially encourage everyone to continue supporting our downtown businesses during construction. Stop in. Shop. Eat. Visit. Spend locally. Construction may temporarily change where we park, but it should not stop us from supporting the businesses that serve our community. Patrons can use side streets for parking (i.e., Dr. Rainey Street, McDuffie Street, and other side streets).
We know construction can create inconveniences, and we sincerely appreciate your patience and cooperation. These temporary disruptions are part of making long-term improvements to our downtown and our city.
This is about more than streets, sidewalks, and water lines. It is about creating a downtown that attracts people, encourages investment, supports our existing businesses, and provides opportunities for new businesses and activities.
We are building today for a stronger tomorrow.
Thank you for believing in Buena Vista and supporting our progress.
