Lt. Governor Ellspermann Welcomes

Main Street Churubusco to the Indiana Main Street Program

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

“I am pleased to welcome Main Street Churubusco to the Indiana Main Street program,” said Lt. Governor Ellspermann.  “By joining Indiana Main Street, Churubusco is on the path to developing a thriving downtown, which will be a tremendous benefit to the residents of Churubusco and the region.”

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 Town of Churubusco.  By forming Main Street Churubusco 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).
