City Council Approves Main Street Funding

The Feb. 16, 2010 meeting was almost the final stand for Main Street Of Hardy, Inc. (Main Street). In a last ditch effort it appears that the official Main Street Organization will not desolve as had been discussed in prior City Council meetings, but instead will work on restructuring itself and getting a new focus on its objectives plus strive for new supporters to continues its purpose.

The city council approved its $6,000 payment to the Main Street Of Hardy, Inc.  for the 2010 fiscal year. This funding  which is a reduction from prior years due to budget restraints. This had also  been a major part of the concerns that Main Street had in being able to continue its operation.

Everyone agrees that Hardy’s Main Street area needs the representation and support that the Main Street Of Hardy, Inc. offers to the historic area and the community of Hardy!

City council spoke up in favor of Main Street and agreed that they needed to bring to the next meeting a signed contract to enter into a agreement with the City as required by law.

Note:  The Hardy Advertising and Promotions committee meets monthly at 5:35 p.m. , normally at Hardy City Hall break room, unless prior arrangements are announced for an alternate meeting location.
