Additionally, the material\u2019s printability and longevity will allow the mural to withstand external elements and retain vibrancy over time.<\/p>\n<p>The designer, Michelle Truett, spent over three months researching the city and worked closely with historian Joseph Bottini and his wife, Mary Bottini on the project. Together, they gathered a series of photographs and historical information to compile the timeline, which covers over two centuries of the city\u2019s character.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, the project aims to revitalize the Bagg\u2019s Square area as it has recently become underused. Bringing buzz to the area may help the area see a rise in investment into the city, which is filled with a rich history that is now accessible for all to experience.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Bagg\u2019s Square mural is a 76-foot historical timeline of Utica\u2019s past.
