Description of Improvement Project(s)
The Edge Bar + Boutique project has brought beautification, life and energy to a once underutilized corner of downtown Elk
River. This project not only brought outdoor seating and ambiance to front and center Main Street, the interior renovations of
the site are stunning. The cool and classy interior design of the store which offers a dine, sip, and shop experience is exactly
what downtown was missing. Edge Bar + Boutique has set the bar for beautification in downtowns!
