Michigan Economic Development Corporation issued the following announcement on Nov. 17.
Boyne City and city of Howell bring spotlight on Michigan through Great American Main Street Award.
Communities across Michigan are being transformed into economically vital and vibrant commercial districts and downtowns, helping to develop attractive places that make the state economically stronger and culturally diverse. As a national leader in innovative placemaking, Michigan has the tools and resources to support communities as they revitalize their downtowns, attract and retain young professionals, increase tourism, and support their small businesses.
The Michigan Economic Development Corporation (MEDC) invests in the long-term economic prosperity of communities across the state through unique programs that help them reach each milestone along the way. Communities interested in revitalizing and preserving their traditional commercial districts begin with MEDC’s nationally-recognized Michigan Main Street program.
The Michigan Main Street program supports local communities across Michigan as they implement the Main Street Four-Point Approach®, a community-driven, comprehensive strategy encouraging economic development through historic preservation in ways appropriate for the modern marketplace. Over the past year, Michigan Main Street communities generated more than $19.4 million in private investment and more than $10.3 million in public investment, added 100 new businesses, and completed 100 façade improvements.
