Additions and Renovations: In 2024, NLS and the Alamance Chamber partnered with landscape architect Matt Roberts to create a new and more welcoming landscaping plan for the Chamber's offices in Downtown Burlington. Seasonal color and interest were added along the front and side of the building, and the parking areas were enhanced with new plantings, trees, and a bluestone pathway. NLS contributed $10,000, with the Chamber investing an additional $10,695 in the project. The plant list included: daisies, hydrangeas, camellias, juniper, lirope, and gingkos.
