Main Street chair says downtown improvements have moved resident sentiment
Summary
The Main Street initiative reported Payson achieved tier 2 state designation, won a volunteer award, launched First Fridays and holiday efforts, and expects a grant to fund part-time downtown staff to sustain momentum.
A downtown volunteer leader reported progress that officials say has improved resident sentiment about historic downtown.
The Main Street chair (Speaker 10) said Payson is now a member of the Utah State Main Street program at Tier 2 and highlighted summer First Fridays, a volunteer award from the State Historic Preservation Office and media coverage. "We are members of the Federal Main Street program and the Utah State Main Street program," the presenter said, noting a grant is expected to hire part-time staff to support downtown activities.
The report covered funding and events that supported holiday decorations, a downtown promotion committee, and plans to support small businesses with design and economic vitality initiatives. The presenter invited council members to ask questions and to join downtown committees.
