The Dedham Savings Community Foundation has donated to Destination Downtown, Walpole. Grant funds will be used to beautify the underutilized alleyways that connect the municipal parking lots to the Main Street business district in downtown Walpole. New public art showcasing beautiful large murals that depict and identify downtown Walpole as a destination will be featured. In addition to activating the alleyways with colorful and creative murals, other future amenities in the alleyways such as sitting benches, bistro lighting, sculptures and flower planters are planned.
