The Chamber of Commerce is currently selling sponsorships for the banners which will include the name of the business in an effort to subsidize the cost of the banners.

The program features five different designs that feature Malden as a “great place to live, work, explore and dine.”

The banners were designed by Debi Morelli, administrative assistant to the Malden Redevelopment Authority, who has a background in graphic design. Councillor-At-Large Craig Spadafora led the way in supporting the white lights and snowflake lights for each of the decorative light poles on Pleasant Street, according to city officials.

To sponsor a banner or for more information about the program, please contact the Chamber of Commerce at 781-322-4500 or info@maldenchamber.org.
