“It’s the time of year if anybody is interest in being part of the main street program as a volunteer, were looking for volunteers to be a part of different committees.” Main Street is looking for volunteer to help with design, economic vitality, organizational and promotion.

Beaver said the design committee will be helping with projects like the canal walk and landscaping for Main Street. Economic vitality will help with gaining new business, as well as helping the current businesses. The organizational committee will be helping in assigning volunteers and getting people to where they need to be. The promotion committee will be scheduling events, fundraisers and Main Street parties.
