Marina Design Group is working on the conceptual phase of the rehabilitation of the Historic Plaza in downtown Twentynine Palms. Workshops have been completed with the City Planning Department and the local Business Owners Association to discuss the rehabilitation process. This city-funded project is high profile in nature due to the anticipated economic revitalization and its historic location. Due to the harsh conditions of a desert environment, trees are exceptionally valuable for adding shade, character, habitat, and beauty to a desert community. The historic palms on the site are currently being inventoried and assessed for preservation and possible relocation in order to enhance the historic character of the plaza. The addition of new tree species will provide human scale and aesthetic value, in addition to habitat and shade, to increase the sustainability of the site.
