Main Street Iowa Comes to Woodbine
One of our Horizons Work Groups was on Quality Jobs–having current and future employers provide quality good paying jobs in Woodbine to boost the local economy. This work group had heard about the Main Street Iowa program and thought it might be a good program for Woodbine. A group of men and women used their leadership abilities and talents and applied to have Woodbine be a Main Street Iowa Community. They were awarded this distinction on March 4 in Des Moines, Iowa. Already on March 19 the Main Street officials visited Woodbine. They met with the Woodbine Main Street Board and about 100 community members. They presented and discussed the Four Point Design of the program. 1. Organization (political), 2. Business Improvement (economic), 3. Design (physical), and 4. Promotion (social). Woodbine Main Street Board has work ahead but are excited about finding ways to better the Woodbine Community in hopes of providing a place where quality jobs can be found, as well as a beautiful place to live.
