In 2004, Larry Fisher, a local attorney, began a campaign to revitalize Plattsburg's Downtown.  The Main Street Improvement's Committee was formed in coordination with the City of Plattsburg to repave roads, repair sidewalks, and install period lighting downtown.  Local welder, Eric Carter built and designed the benches, trash receptacles, and planters pictured below which will be displayed throughout Plattsburg's Historic Downtown.
