Dozens of people gathered in Mayor’s Park to see the unveiling of a new neon light sculpture, ‘Where We Weave,’ on the evening of July 10. The community event, hosted by the team behind The Stitch, featured free tacos, music, and a raffle.

The Stitch’s Plan

The Stitch is an ambitious civic infrastructure investment initiative that aims to build a park atop the Downtown Connector. Plans for The Stitch began to make headway in 2023 and 2024, but the Trump administration recently cut $151 million from the project, pushing back the construction timeline.

Despite this setback, the lively atmosphere showed that momentum and community interest in the project have not stopped. Jack Cebe, CEO of Stitch Inc., emphasized that the driving purpose behind the sculpture unveiling and the overall project is to bring people together.

Cebe encouraged people to subscribe to The Stitch’s quarterly newsletter for more information about the project.
