Quitman board votes to rejoin Main Street program at base level, designates chamber president as contact
Summary
The city voted to rejoin the Main Street program at a base (volunteer) level and approved the annual membership fee of $500; the chamber president will serve as the initial point of contact while the board determines future funding and staffing.
After a presentation about Main Street benefits and program structure, the board voted to rejoin the Main Street program at the base, volunteer level and approved paying the annual membership fee of $500. One board member recommended the chamber president serve as the Main Street director/point of contact to coordinate volunteer staffing and program activities.
Board members said rejoining will allow the city to explore downtown‑focused programming before committing staff or larger financial resources; they also noted statutory or program thresholds that could require a paid director only after the program advances beyond the base level. The motion passed by voice vote.
