<p>The point to this is that it is necessary to have support from the City for a Main Street community. When Newkirk first started the program, the City's investment was 1/2 of our budget of $20,000 at $10,000 - Over the years our budget has increased because
we do more projects etc and we have never asked for more than the $10,000. But I think the ratio should be 1/3 from City; 1/3 from membership and 1/3 from fundraisers. Have you ever shown them the ratio of reinvestment to their investment? They, honestly,
could not have a better investment than Main Street! We are worth our weight in gold.<br>

<span style="font-family:"Palatino Linotype","serif"">I had a Board member request I contact the group and find out a few things about your city’s investment in your Main Street program. Ours is committed to Main Street, but someone on City staff recently asked
this particular Board member when we would be “self sufficient” so we’re wanting to have some info about other communities to help with that communication.</span></p>
