LANSING -- Governor Jennifer M. Granholm today announced that the communities of Blissfield, Hart and Wayland were selected by the Michigan State Housing Development Authority (MSHDA) to take part in the Michigan Main Street program.
As full fledged Michigan Main Street communities, Blissfield, Hart and Wayland will receive five years of intensive technical assistance, through the Michigan Main Street Center @ MSHDA, with a focus on revitalization strategies designed to attract new residents, business investment, economic growth and job creation to their central business districts.
"The Michigan Main Street program will help Blissfield, Hart and Wayland create opportunities for new development and economic growth just as it has in downtowns across our state," Governor Granholm said. " Michigan's economy will be stronger with thriving downtowns – big and small."
