Elk Grove Mural Festival (Paint the Grove) (PLNG26-014)

The City of Elk Grove is preparing to host the Elk Grove Mural Festival, also known as Paint the Grove, which will introduce temporary murals to ten commercial properties within the Historic Main Street Old Town Special Planning Area along Elk Grove Boulevard, with additional locations at 9576 1st Avenue and 9080 Locust Street. Eight of the ten sites are on Elk Grove Boulevard, and three of these properties are recognized as historic resources on the Elk Grove Register of Historic Resources, requiring compliance with the Old Town Design Review and a Major Certificate of Appropriateness to ensure aesthetic and historical compatibility. The project aims to enhance the cultural vibrancy of the area through public art while adhering to preservation standards for designated historic structures. The initiative is formally tracked under the planning application PLNG26-014 and was posted as a forecast on May 26, 2026, with Kyra Killingsworth, Senior Planner at the City of Elk Grove, serving as the primary point of contact. All work is confined to the City of Elk Grove in California, and the project does not involve a formal solicitation, set-aside designation, or NAICS code, indicating its role as a municipal planning and design review action rather than a procurement.
