Just Returned from the ADN Panel Review in Little Rock
Mayor Ron Kemp, Nancy Kemp and Cyndi Corkran just returned from their trip to Little Rock on Wednesday, April 16th, after their presentation to the Arkansas Main Street panel. Four municipalities will be chosen this year for the Arkansas Downtown Network program, which is a community-driven approach to revitalizing downtown and traditional neighborhoods. The four-point framework involves local work in the following areas: Organization - creation of a well-run, sustainable non-profit organization that operates the Main Street program locally. Promotion - promoting and marketing the Main Street district through special events and festivals, business promotions, and overall image development. Design - improvement of the downtown's physical environment through historic preservation, building renovation, facade improvements, public spaces, amenities and infrastructure, and Economic Restructuring - economic development of the Main Street district, including identification of existing and potential market opportunities, business retention, business recruitment, creation or assembly of financial assistance tools and property development. Rector will be advised of the panel's decision in about a week. Stay tuned for all of the latest, and thank you all for your support to our wonderful community!
