Since 1987, improvement projects have been completed, ranging from new signs and awnings to complete renovation and construction, representing investments of over $5 million in the downtown area. In addition, economic development efforts have resulted in a net gain of twenty new businesses and 150 new jobs. Other areas of success include Main Street's creation of a virtual tour featuring its member businesses and organization, and their involvement with city-wide promotions and special events that create and market a positive image of the downtown district. |


The Main Street Program, founded by the National Trust for Historic Preservation, focuses itsĀ economic development efforts in the City's historic downtown district within the context of historic preservation.
