[MainstreetManagers] [** EXTERNAL **] Award Category List

[melony carey]

Thank you for sharing that list, Chelsea. Very useful!!

We have also established a Downtown Legacy Business Award that we give each
year. We do it in partnership with our Historic Preservation Commission.
Requirements are that they have been in continuous business in downtown for
35 years or more. We gave our first three last year - Muskogee Phoenix (112
years), Club Lunch (98 years) and Hoopes Hardware (65 years).

It helps remind everyone about the preservation aspect of Main Street and
honors those dedicated businesses.
