Main Spotlight: Connecting, Innovating, and Sustaining a Healthy Main Street Movement
Key takeaways from six sessions at the 2025 Main Street Now Conference.
Over 500 people braved the misty rain this past weekend to come and celebrate Painesville and its Made on Main Street community transformation project, now in progress. Downtown Painesville will create and manage a landscaped public space, with designated seating in and around their community’s beloved historic Gage House, thereby creating the only park and seating area in that part of the downtown district.
Many thanks for Downtown Painesville and OneMain Financial for creating and hosting this fantastic event! View more photos on our Facebook page.
In 2018, Main Street America and OneMain Financial partnered to bring our network Made on Main Street, a series of seven $25,000 community transformation grants and community celebration events. Events and projects will be taking place throughout 2018--stay tuned!
