Business leaders in downtown Georgetown last week learned about the city’s parklet pilot program, which will allow select businesses just off the Square to expand their services into sidewalks and what are now used as parking spaces.
Kelly Trietsch, Georgetown chief development officer, discussed the idea during the Downtown Georgetown Association meeting on May 5.
