Cascade Square Management Seeks Neighborhood Watch

Doug Bean and Associates which has taken over management of the Cascade Square retail center is seeking community support and participation to organize a community watch in the vicinity of the site at 8th and Killingsworth. Currently there are two spaces for lease in the building and Bean is seeking to increase the commercial viability of the site and bring in new tenants that will benefit the neighborhood. More lighting for the parking lot is also in the works.

A future meeting is in the works so that concerned neighbors and the company can work together to make the corner a more liveable and friendly place.
