Summary
Michael Crump told the council about Main Street holiday events, a 'Roy the Gingerbread Boy' promotion, five ribbon cuttings and at least seven new businesses in 2024; Mayor Turman announced The Tams concert is scheduled for May 10, 2025.
Michael Crump presented the Main Street activities report at the Dec. 10 meeting, summarizing events and economic activity in 2024 and plans for 2025.
Crump reported on the Christmas Tree Lighting, Small Business Saturday, and a Christmas Market held inside the Depot, and described a promotion called 'Roy the Gingerbread Boy' used to award gift certificates. He said there were five ribbon cuttings in 2024 and at least seven new business openings; two properties are in the process of being sold. When asked by Councilman Jason Phillips whether there were additional concerts scheduled beyond The Tams, Crump said he had emailed potential performers but had not received confirmations. Mayor Keith Turman emphasized the Tams concert date is May 10, 2025 and encouraged citizens to spend the day in Royston.
The report is intended to highlight downtown events and business activity; no formal council action was required on the Main Street presentation.
