FEATURE PROJECT
Historic 1920’s Streetlights
Mainstreet Shelbyville has refurbished two of the original streetlights that were in the downtown from 1928 to the 1960’s. Historically accurate streetlights will be installed as part of the upcoming streetscape project. Special thanks to Reliant Electric for donating their services to wire our two streetlights.

Thanks to Benesee Oncology Center and City Hall for hosting our lights this summer. Come visit our lights during the Holiday Season as they light up Santa’s House in Shelbyville’s downtown Public Square.

NEWS UPDATE
Business Recruitment:
Mainstreet has started two projects intended to fill the spaces in the downtown. The first is a business recruitment effort, with packets, website redesign, advertising, and Wi-Fi throughout the downtown. The second is a retail incubator, which will be a storefront that new retailers share, splitting overhead and staff. We will provide training in e-business, marketing, and business plan development.
