Foreman Partnership

On May 7th, students from Foreman High School planted flowers in the planters throughout the Belmont-Central business district. The Belmont-Central Chamber/SSA#2 will continue to care for these flowers, but we ask business owners to tend to them as well.  If you have questions about the planters, please let us know.

Another project the Foreman students are undertaking involves filling the neighborhood storefronts with photos and art of the area.  If you would like to share any photos or other historic records of the Belmont-Central neighborhood, please contact Emily Oddo Porter, librarian at Foreman High School:
