Clare Named As Michigan Main Street Winner!
Governor Jennifer M. Granholm announced the three communities chosen by the Michigan Economic Development Corporation (MEDC) to take part in the coveted Michigan Main Street program
on June 17, 2004. This year’s designees, Clare, Muskegon and Niles, will receive intensive, year-round training through the MEDC, with a focus on revitalization strategies designed to attract new
business investment and job creation to their central business districts.
Michigan is now one of 39 states to administer a Main Street program. On a national level, the
program has demonstrated impressive results. Since the national Main Street Center began its work in 1980, participating downtowns across the country have gained an average of $40.35 in new private
investment for every $1 used to operate the local program. In that time, Main Street communities have created more than $17 billion in public and private investments in physical improvements, 57,470 new
businesses, and more than 231,000 new jobs.
“The economic vitality of our communities is the cornerstone of the continued economic success of
the entire state. said MEDC President and CEO Don Jakeway. “The Main Street designation offers these three communities the opportunity to learn how to grow into the future while maintaining the
historic identity of their traditional business district,”
