Lt. Governor Sue Ellspermann Welcomes

Downtown Princeton Inc. to the Indiana Main Street Program

Indianapolis – Today, Lieutenant Governor Sue Ellspermann announced that Downtown Princeton Inc. will join more than 100 other Indiana Main Street (IMS) Communities dedicated to the revitalization of their downtown areas. 

“I am pleased to welcome Downtown Princeton Inc. to the Indiana Main Street Program,” said Lt. Governor Ellspermann.  “Viable downtowns are crucial to the economic health of our state. By joining Indiana Main Street, Princeton has taken an important step to developing a thriving downtown.”

IMS was established to provide economic revitalization and professional assistance to participating communities.  The program encourages the revitalization and restoration of downtown areas in Indiana cities and towns. As the traditional heart and hub of government, commerce, justice and social interaction, the downtown business district portrays a city's overall image.

 “We look forward to continuing to work alongside the residents of the City of Princeton.  By forming Downtown Princeton Inc. the community is showing they understand the importance of a thriving downtown,” said Shae Kmicikewycz, Program Manager for Indiana Main Street.

The IMS is administered by the Indiana Office of Community and Rural Affairs (OCRA).
