Emporia Main Street is now a accredited through a national main street program, Kayla Oney, executive director of Emporia Main Street announced this week.
Oney announced in a press release that Emporia Main Street now is accredited as a 2008 National Main Street Program for meeting the commercial district revitalization performance standards set by the National Trust Main Street Center. More than 700 Main Street programs were accredited this year.
“We congratulate this year’s accredited National Main Street Programs for meeting our established performance standards,” said 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.”
The National Trust Main Street Center works in partnership with coordinating Main Street programs throughout the national to identify the trust’s 10 performance standards.
“Emporia Main Street has enjoyed several successful events this year and the volunteers deserve recognition for all their hard work, dedication and commitment to downtown and the Emporia community,” Oney said.
