Governor Rick Snyder announced last week that the community of Saline was selected by the Michigan State Housing Development Authority (MSHDA) to take part in the Michigan Main Street program. What does this mean for Saline? As a full-fledged Michigan Main Street community, Saline will receive five years of intensive technical assistance, through the Michigan Main Street program, with a focus on revitalization strategies designed to attract new residents, business investment, economic growth and job creation to their central business district.
The Michigan Main Street program is part of Snyder's placemaking efforts to create vibrant communities across Michigan. These efforts are based on numerous studies showing that investing in placemaking creates vibrant city centers and downtowns, making the state economically stronger. There are currently 38 participating Michigan Main Street communities at all levels, including 16 at the Select and Master levels.
