The City of Lakewood is looking to officially name its plaza located on Motor Avenue SW that fronts the historic Lakewood Theatre.
The plaza was redeveloped in 2019 to create a community gathering space in the city’s downtown business district. Since its completion the city has hosted numerous events on the site, including its popular Saturday Street Festivals with live music, vendor booths, food and family-friendly activities.

I definitely would like to see some reference to Norton Clapp. His mark on Lakewood history, including the founding of the Lakewood Colonial Center, should be acknowledged.
Norton Clapp Colonial Plaza would be an appropriate name, as while officially recognizing his legacy, most people would shorten it and call it Colonial Plaza.
I agree, Paul.
