Main Street recognized
From Staff Reports
TEMPLE — The Texas Historical Commission (THC) and the National Trust for Historic Preservation recently recognized Corsicana was one of the 52 National Main Street Cities in Texas. Other 2009 National Main Street Cities, which represent the real places of Texas, include: Amarillo, Bastrop, Beaumont, Beeville, Bowie, Brenham, Bridgeport, Canton, Canyon, Carthage, Celina, Clifton, Colorado City, Comanche, Cotulla, Denison, Denton, Electra, Elgin, Farmersville, Gainesville, Georgetown, Goliad, Gonzales, Grapevine, Greenville, Harlingen, Henderson, Kerrville, Kilgore,
La Grange, Levelland, Livingston, Llano, Lufkin, Luling, McKinney, Mount Vernon, Nacogdoches, New Braunfels, Odessa, Paris, Pharr, Plainview, San Angelo, San Marcos, Seguin, Sonora, Taylor, Tyler and Waxahachie.
“A lot of hard work goes into achieving this recognition. Main Street communities exemplify the Texas mystique and this recognition honors the many people, including Main Street managers and volunteers, who put in countless hours to make their Main Street programs work. The result is an active and successful downtown revitalization effort that benefits not only the Main Street district, but also the entire community,” said Debra Farst, state coordinator of the Texas Main Street Program.
The cities were honored at the recent Texas Downtown Association/Texas Main Street Conference in Temple. The National Trust for Historic Preservation’s National Main Street Center will honor these cities at the 2009 National Main Streets Conference to be held in Chicago in March.
Cities chosen as National Main Street Cities must show above average performance in 10 categories. The selection criteria focus on planning, staff and volunteers, preservation ethic, training and program assessment.
