For several years, the idea of becoming a Main Street designated community
has been debated among people in Marietta. A few months ago, Mayor Mullen
invited citizens who had a strong interest in revitalizing Marietta to
come together and begin holding monthly meetings to explore the
possibility of becoming a designated Main Street Community. With the
Mayor’s encouragement, this small citizens’ committee has been meeting
regularly and has matured into a more formal group that has chosen the
name “ReStore Marietta”. The group has progressed to the point where
it has drafted and adopted By-Laws and Articles of Incorporation, applied
for and received an EIN, gotten a postal box (PO Box 5013, Marietta, OH
45750), created a checking account and is in the process of applying for
non-profit status.What exactly is “Main Street”? It is the name of a program that has been developed to help towns achieve revitalization. In simplest terms, “Main Street” is a recipe for economic rejuvenation. It has eight key principles upon which its success has been built.
Mission
Statement:
Those are the fundamental elements of Main Street and ReStore Marietta is
a citizen’s committee trying to determine if the Main Street program is
the recipe that Marietta should follow to revitalize our town. For more
