Conclusion

 

Again, our goal is to keep the Historic Downtown District area thriving. Studies show that customers are attracted to well-kept, appealing streetscapes. Interesting windows, attractive landscaping, buildings in good repair, areas for shelter such as doorways or under awnings all help to make our Main Street district the kind of place customers want to visit again, and again, and again.
We'll do our part to provide you with information and assistance. We're also working with the town to improve the infrastructure that keeps our entire town looking good while providing a safe place for our customers to shop and conduct business. We hope these guidelines will help you do your part to keep Imlay City’s Downtown Depot District a great place to live, work, shop, and play.
Please feel free to call me at 724-2135 with any questions or concerns you may have. The Downtown Development Authority looks forward to assisting you in all ways possible to enable the District to grow and prosper.
