Suisun City hopes to be recipient of HGTVs Home Town Takeover – Fairfield Daily Republic

SUISUN CITY Residents of Suisun City have launched a campaign to have the town be considered for HGTVs Home Town Takeover.

The website Suisun Citys campaign features a video with Mayor Lori Wilson sharing the citys qualifications and a plea for help to gather all the information needed.

A town of less than 40,000 residents that needs a main street that needs to be developed will witness the rehab ofmultiple individual family homes and the revitalization of public spaces, such as parks, local diners and recreation centers, according to a press release from HGTV.

We have homes with great architecture, Wilson said in the video. Have you been downtown?

The main street development prompted Wilson to ask, rhetorically, again, Have you been downtown?

And, the town will be featured inHome Town Takeover(Home Town Rescue), a six-episode series slated to premiere in 2021 on HGTV.

Stephanie Knight is heading up the effort.

We only have a few weeks, she said in the video. Lets pull together as a community to get it done.

Volunteer professional videographers and editors, drone videographers, professional photographers, writers and historians are needed.

Professional photos from past events such as Mothers Day on the Waterfront, July Fourth and Christmas on the Waterfront are sought.

Lets do this, Knight said in the video.

Ever since Ben and Erin Napier of the hit seriesHome Town helped transform Laurel, Mississippi, fans from small towns across America have flooded HGTV with requests to take on the renovationof their hometown, the HGTV press release said.

Through Feb. 7, anyone who loves their own hometown can log on toHGTVHomeTownTakeover.comto show, tellandsell the network on why their small town, with its historic architecture and classic main street, should be theonetown featured in the upcoming event seriesHome Town Takeover.

Just imagine what we can do when we come together, Wilson said in the video.

This is a big one, Erin Napier said in the press release.HGTV has never, ever taken on a whole town renovation and restoration project and were so proud and excited to be leading the team that will get it done.

Submissions must include photos of the town, but video is preferred. Videos should spotlight a specific place that needs a makeover, such as a diner, coffee shop, home or playground.

Submissions also should feature a tour of the town that highlights the places that need the most help as well as the people who love living there.

Renovating one house at a time is an awesome experience, but the chance to support an entire town, where we can help bring a community back to life and enhance the lives of the people who live and work there, is something weve always wanted to try, said Ben Napier in the press release.
