Farmington’s Main Street program has reason to be proud, after taking home two awards from Saturday’s Main Street Oakland County Main Event.
The Streetscape bond election campaign and Main Street Messenger editor Pat Shelton took home a little bling. Judges gave the campaign high marks for community involvement, from the streetscape video to the informational newsletter and other volunteer efforts. And the judges actually created a new award for Shelton, whose work has become a model for other Main Street programs. Congratulations all around!

Great sales job to the public? What about the price tag and the loans and who is really going to pay for it all?
I would suggest that if you really want answers to those questions, you read the additional posts in this blog or that you do some research by exploring the archives of the Farmington Observer. Better yet, come visit Downtown Farmington and see what an active, engaged DDA, business community and citizenry can do!
