Summary

Main Street Medina presented 2025 metrics and thanked the city for partnership; committee approved a $40,000 membership renewal for 2026 after hearing visitor counts, grant leveraging, and planned Southtown projects including Bee Park and gateway elements.

Main Street Medina presented a 10‑minute report to the finance committee and requested the city renew $40,000 in membership support for 2026, the same amount provided in 2025. The presenter (identified in the transcript as Speaker 6) outlined programmatic metrics for 2025, including visitor numbers, fundraising totals, grants and matching funds, and specific improvements supported by Main Street’s design and economic vitality committees.

The organization reported more than 70,000 visitors in 2025 (about 60% from out of town) and estimated local economic impact based on per‑visitor spending. Main Street summarized grants and matching funds that supported façade improvement grants and other Southtown projects, and previewed short‑term projects including placement of gateway pillars and the phase‑two completion of the Medina Bee Park.

Council members praised Main Street’s event management and marketing work and moved to approve the $40,000 membership renewal. No council member opposed the funding in the finance committee vote.
