Town Square Project

The Julian Community Heritage Foundation has been actively working on a new initiative for the development of the corner lot on Main St. and Washington St. Our vision is the creation of a Julian town square and would serve as a community park & outdoor entertainment space. Julian town square will be an epicenter of art, theater and community gatherings.

PROJECT BACKSTORY

The Julian Community Heritage Foundation started as a volunteer effort towards creating a Town Square for our historic town of Julian. It has been in the works for many years now. Various individuals and organizations have already contributed to the project and our collective efforts have raised $600,000 for the purchase of the lot. The plans were presented to Dianne Jacob, our San Diego County Board of Supervisors Representative at the time, and she was very supporting the project. We have been working with the Julian Architectural Review Board to ensure we are in compliance with historic district building guidelines.

Our next goal is to raise the necessary funds to develop the vacant lot. Read More...

 

The Julian Town Square Project

For far too many years now, the corner lot on Main St. and Washington St. has remained a barren and empty space. Our community has watched the years pass by while this beautiful and strategically located property remains unused. We believe it's time to change that and we need your help to make it happen.

The town square project is being proposed for the vacant corner lot on Main St. and Washington St.

We've received donations that will go towards acquiring the lot. The next step will be to raise funds for the development phase.

We partnered up with the non-profit Community Action, Service and Advocacy (CASA) and they were our fiscal agent and sponsor in the beginning of the process. Currently, the Julian Community Heritage Foundation is a registered nonprofit organization. All proceeds go towards the funding of the town square project.
