SAVE OUR MAIN STREET
Help us bring our downtown vision to life!220 S. Main
Current efforts are focused on the restoration of 220 S. Main, which you may know as “Bridie’s” or the variety store building. Constructed in 1890, this building is the only remaining two-story building on our Main Street and is a prominent part of our downtown. This project presents an opportunity for a new retail business on the main floor and two condos on the upper level. With the great need for additional retail businesses and housing in our community, we’re excited this building can help in these areas. We’re currently in phase 1 of the project.
