Mark Wicks, Floyd County Community Development Director, asked the board on Feb. 3 to consider a $5,000 request from Main Street Charles City to support the program’s downtown revitalization work.
Wicks described the organization’s focus on business support, events and volunteer coordination and said rising operational costs are threatening the county's ability to maintain National Main Street accreditation for the Charles City program.
