Since January, there has been much discussion about Main Street and Midland Square. Many folks have expressed their opinions on both sides of the issue. We have discussed the pros and cons of revitalizing the Square and Main Street at our City Council meetings and in town halls, listening and gaining citizens’ input on how we can revitalize our downtown. At one town hall, the question was asked: what needed to be done to revitalize downtown? Nearly everyone agreed we must do something. Suggestions included adding more vibrancy, amenities, infrastructure improvements like lighting and more greenery, more downtown events, public restrooms, marketing, parking issues, addressing vacancies, and improving façades as critical areas the city should focus on. These changes and improvements were almost identical to a 2017 survey asking people what they would like to change about Main Street.
