Now that I have put in nearly two years here at the Oklahoma Main Street Center, I’ve had the chance to experience everything at least once and I must say, there is nothing more refreshing than the New Town Application Workshop. There is anticipation almost like the first day of school where everyone is excited to get started.
It’s a great reminder of why we do what we do day in and day out.
Nearly 20 communities turned out for the workshop yesterday – a new record. While there is always interest in the program, to have 20 communities interested in becoming a Main Street community all in one year is a bit overwhelming.
It’s great to see such strong support for our historic commercial cores throughout the state.
While I‘m sure not every community will apply this year, it will be exciting as we approach the November 14th deadline for Letters of Intent. Who will be the next one to join our Main Street family?
I can’t wait to find out. J
