In the interview, Bergstrom described the events and also reflected on Downtown Gardner, “Every day when I drive to downtown, I am impressed and so happy about all the work that is going on. The flowerpots were planted this weekend, the parks were planted this weekend. It looks beautiful. There is work going on on so many buildings downtown. I don’t know if I ever recall it looking better, but it does get exciting to see so many people putting improvements and investing in our downtown.”
