Mainstreet Piqua has been accredited
as a 2008 National Main Street Program for meeting the
commercial district revitalization performance standards set by
the National Main Street Center. Mainstreet Piqua joins over 700
other Main Street revitalization programs being recognized as
2008 National Main Street Programs. Each year, the National
Trust Main Street Center and its coordinating program partners
announce the list of accredited National Main Street Programs
around the country that have demonstrated their ability to
follow Main Street methodology. This is the eighth consecutive
year that Mainstreet Piqua has achieved the National Main Street
Program designation.
“We congratulate this year’s
accredited National Main Street Program for meeting our
established performance standards,” says Doug Loescher,
director of the National Trust Main Street Center. “Rebuilding
a district’s economic health and maintaining that success
requires broad-based community involvement and support, in
addition to establishing a solid organization with sound
management that is committed to long-term success.”
Mainstreet Piqua’s performance
was evaluated by Heritage Ohio, which is the coordinating
organization for Main Street programs in Ohio.
