In 2004 the Newport Square underwent a revitalization project in which all the overhead power lines were moved underground or rerouted. Updates included historic style street lamps, ornamental trees, brick planters and new flag poles. These changes helped return the square to a more historical appearance.
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.
