Memorial Day has come and gone and the 4th of July is just around the corner. This time of the year is the best time downtown. Customers are out on the streets and we are loving the sunshine! With all this sunshine have come many wonderful changes to many of the buildings and businesses downtown. Other wonderful changes are occurring on the municipal end. The downtown parking lot on the North side is just about all done and the other one on the South side of the road is slotted to be paved next. This is the same area the new mural is going in. Proper signage is being installed over the summer as well. Customers need to understand where public parking is and how they can cross Main Street safely. The beautiful flowers are out on Main Street once again as well. Some new benches, garbage cans and bike racks are being installed as well come July. Help us welcome our valuable customers.
So why is the village doing all of this work? I love to use this analogy: if you were going to invite a special guest over for dinner would you not clean your home and prepare for that special guest? Of course you would. We are doing the same. Who is our special guest? Any new developer or business looking to locate on our Main Street. We need to prepare for their arrival!
July 10th is a special day for us as The Gingerbread Shoppe opens. It is also Antiques Day on Main Street. We have two Antiques Stores right across from another so use the new crosswalk and go to both of them this day. You may also see a few extra vendors out near Books Etc. Stop and see them as well.
At the top of the right side of the webpage you have the opportunity to subscribe to automatic updates from the MPA. I highly suggest doing this and each time we post something new you will know about it. Our community is in a place of constant changes and communication is so important. Be informed so join our feed.
Have a wonderful 4th of July and see you on Main Street soon!
