Welcome to Eastman Commons, Inc., page, where we can post updates on progress of our efforts. It's important to note that Eastman Commons is a 501(c)3 organization and not affiliated with the City of Eastman or the Dodge County Board of Commissioners. We are a community-driven organization focused on community-driven beautification projects. Our very first project addresses the triangular area where Oak St. and College St. converge (where the old Chick King use to be and across from the Board of Education building). This project is divided into phases, with the first phase being called the "Clock Project". It is on one of the traffic islands, with GDOT's permission. Subsequent phase is the area between it and the CVS, which is destined to be an interesting space, if everything lines up well. Details on that later. If you want to know more details about the clock project, such as the budget, donations made, donations needed, the detailed design of the pedestal the "break away" posted clock will stand on, and/or you want to make an on-line donation to help make this project come to life, visit bit.ly/eastmanclock. You'll also find more there on our mission. (Note: To save costs, this web site is hosted by Chameleon, and please be assured that this back-end web site and all financials that go through it are handled independently of anything related to the home web site, along with an electronic audit trail.) We're very appreciative of Chameleon creating and hosting this web site for us in order to give you quick service and someone available to assist, if needed.) We're pursuing grants for this effort, and grants take time. Personal donations are greatly appreciated. Once we have 50% of the funding needed for the clock, the clock will be ordered, built, and the grounds will be prepared, the pedestal will be constructed (much, much thanks to local volunteers donating their time and supplies already, as you will see if you look at the budget on the website. Check out the website, let us know if we can address any questions.
