Lemon Grove Promenade

Lemon Grove officials launched a $5.1 million project on redeveloping the immediate area surrounding the Lemon Grove Depot into a Promenade, which was designed to include a plaza, park, and two windmills to help generate electricity. Construction of this promenade began on July 19, 2012, [8] with its grand opening ceremony held on September 27, 2013. [9] The project subsequently won an award. [10]
