This blighted Route 66 spot in Cuba is due for a transformation.
Viva Cuba, a non-profit community betterment organization, plans to tackle this small pocket of blight in a new pocket project. Pocket projects are small transformations that improve a previously blighted or spoiled view. The projects may take a couple of hundred dollars or several thousand dollars as the Viva Cuba Garden at the intersection of Route 66 and Hwy. 19 has.
Workman Construction will remove the deteriorating boards and replace them with all-weather material that will be primed and ready for the artist’s treatment. Local artist Shelly Smith Steiger, one of Cuba’s muralists, is preparing a sketch of her proposed painting, which is a little whimsical in nature. And that’s all that we are going to reveal for now. Watch in the weeks ahead for Viva Cuba’s contribution to making our town a little more attractive.
