We were so lucky to go through Main Street America’s Transformation Strategy process over the last few weeks!! It started with providing them with much of the work that has already been done in our community. Next, many of you helped us with a survey. Last week we learned about the survey results, reviewed information from various data sets in relation to our downtown, listened to several stakeholder’s thoughts and ideas, and learned about some potential strategies we are considering for implementation over the next few years. Our board will soon go over these strategies in more depth with the intent to make a decision next month!
We want to thank everyone that took time to complete our survey, the information was priceless! We were lucky to have community members, business owners, building owners and City of Monticello, representatives that took time out of their day to discuss ways to elevate our downtown. Last, but not at all least, we must thank our awesome facilitators from Main Street America and Illinois Main Street!
Stay tuned!!
