Naming Plaza

What’s in a name? What is Dixon about? What should the center of town be named that will soon feature a farmer’s market, musicians, movies, and more?

The City is currently accepting name suggestions for the new Downtown Plaza. Here are a few submitted ideas: Singing Cowboy Plaza; Dixon’s Downtown Plaza; Pardi Plaza; and Farm Town Square. Email your suggestion to [email protected] by July 31.
