Wayne Main Street publishes first annual report

By Lindsey Wooten – Wayne Main Street and the City of Wayne has seen incredible progress during our first year of being a Select Level Michigan Main Street community and we are confident that our second year will be even more exciting. Overall, our program has brought in over $90,000 worth of resources to aid in the revitalization of our downtown thanks to our relationship with the Michigan Main Street Center and our dedicated volunteer base. Our collective actions are creating a ripple effect with far reaching impacts to touch the lives of all who have a stake in downtown Wayne today, and for generations to come.
