The project will integrate a communications platform consisting of three digital displays that the municipality can use to broadcast emergency information and to help promote local activities and events.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen I look at the rendering, I picture it coming alive &#8212; and have an image of how beautiful this will be,\u201d said Tim Bebout, owner and chef at the Main Street Manor B&amp;B in Flemington. \u201cIt&#8217;s going to be lovely to have drivers pass trees and landscaping and to know that just down the street is one of the most beautiful towns in New Jersey and they should stop.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Flemington has been focused on the revitalization of underutilized properties in the Borough, and the rehabilitation of its historic Main Street. Like many communities, it seeks to improve life for residents and stand out from the sea of sameness that permeates our suburbs. Drivers often don\u2019t realize they are leaving one municipality and entering the next. Catalyst Experiential will take a derelict auto shop and transform it into a unique meaningful green space with a landmark to welcome visitors to the Borough.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn the 90s I lived in Hunterdon County and used to pass through Flemington regularly,\u201d commented Eric Ascalon, Vice President of Development, Catalyst Experiential. \u201cI remember the\u00a0quaint, inviting Main Street\u2014but the 202 commercial corridor bypassing the\u00a0heart\u00a0of town was nondescript, and had a dilapidated old service station in its midst. I\u2019m very proud that Catalyst will be transforming this\u00a0eyesore\u00a0into an appropriate green gateway to welcome travelers to this wonderful community.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3><strong>More on Catalyst Experiential:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Catalyst Experiential is redefining the physical form of communication by integrating visual communication technology with municipal landmarks, public safety facilities, and community gathering places.
