Revitalizing Historic Downtown Panama City through the Harrison Ave Streetscapes Project.

 

The Harrison Ave Streetscapes Project is transforming Historic Downtown Panama City into a place our community can be proud of. A space designed for the people who live, work, and gather here every day.

 

This project is all about creating a more vibrant, walkable, and welcoming downtown, with beautiful new landscaping, upgraded lighting, and wider, safer sidewalks that make it easier for everyone to enjoy the heart of our city.

 

What makes this project truly special is you. Community voices, ideas, and feedback have played a major role in shaping the improvements. From preserving our historic character to choosing the right modern upgrades, the goal has always been to reflect what matters most to the people of downtown Panama City.

 

By blending our rich history with thoughtful improvements, the Streetscapes Project is bringing new life, new energy, and new opportunities to downtown. It’s a major step forward in creating a lively gathering place where families, friends, and visitors can shop, dine, explore, and celebrate together.
