Blissfield Celebrates Selection as Main Street Community

Blissfield Village President Jae Guetschow said he hopes the village’s new status a “select-level” member of the Michigan Main Street program will help transform downtown. Guetschow made the remarks Wednesday afternoon as the village officially announced its selection in the Main Street program.

Guetschow said he hopes to see changes that will help the downtown be more appealing to local residents.

“For a period of time we’ve been advertising and courting outsiders to come in and spend their money here but we really need to have a good blend of visitors as well as residents,” Guetschow said.

Guetschow said that downtown centers, such as Blissfield’s, are more in demand after 60 years of sprawl and running away from urban centers.
