Reidsville Receives NC Main Street Awards

Each year the North Carolina Main Street Program accepts nominations for outstanding downtown revitalization projects and awards the very best in the state. Among the 53 Main Street communities there were 84 nominations.  According to Liz Parham, Director of the NC Main Street Center, this was an extraordinary number, making this year’s awards perhaps more competitive than ever before.

The Reidsville Downtown Corporation is proud to announce that the City of Reidsville has won not one but two of these prestigious awards. Market Square was the winning entry in the category of Best Outdoor Space Improvement and Mr. Kones Ice Cream was the winning entry for Best Adaptive Reuse Project.  “These awards celebrate the best in downtown revitalization and are very competitive. We are extremely honored that the efforts of the city council, et al, are being recognized, not only regionally, but now statewide,” said Tammy Spencer, Reidsville’s Main Street manager.

All of the award winning projects will be recognized at the state’s Annual Main Street Conference Awards Banquet that will be held in New Bern, NC, January 28, 2010.
