Let us start out by saying Thank You! Without the generous support of our sponsors: business, foundations, community members, stakeholders and individuals we would not be able to complete the work we do without your support. There is so much work to be done in 2023 and we need your help.
Here are some of the highlights of the past year. The City of Auburn was selected by the Office of Community and Rural Affairs for the $2M Hoosiers Enduring Legacy Program or HELP. This is such an exciting opportunity for our community to work collaboratively on researching and ultimately selecting/determining Auburn's Legacy Project over the next 12-24 months. We have just completed the pathway committee work and will have a completed Strategic Initiative Plan by the end of the year to present to Auburn City Council with a list of ideal projects for our community. We will then try and go after additional funding to maximize the impact of this project.
We are just starting our new Jr. Main Street program with Dekalb High School students. We look to expand various projects around Auburn as we are able to gather interest for funding. There is a desire to have more of a focus on preservation and historic commemoration and programing. We hope that you enjoyed Discovering Historic Auburn in May and the new October First Friday Pumpkin Fest! We look forward to a new upgraded façade program to roll out next year in 2023, so be on the lookout for more details on that soon. We are a 501(c)3 nonprofit whose efforts are made possible by gifts from individuals and families, small business members, and major sponsors. Please consider joining Auburn Main Street's mission is to collaborate with our community to promote, advance, and preserve a vibrant historic downtown- rich in Art and Culture and inviting for all. Please join us in our continued momentum and implementation of our mission in 2023.
