LENOIR — The city of Lenoir Main Street Department has once again been designated as an Accredited Main Street America program in 2023. This accreditation is Main Street America’s top-tier recognition.
The city of Lenoir became North Carolina’s 12th Main Street America Community in 1984. Since then, the number of Main Street and Small Town Main Street communities has grown to 70.
Main Street Director Kaylynn Horn said that accreditation is not a given, and staff has to work every year to meet specific benchmarks.
“What I am most proud of with this designation is that it takes many people in the community to reach these benchmarks,” Horn said. “It illustrates that all of us working together — volunteers and boards, businesses and property owners, city council and staff, and many others — can create impact and make a difference. Maintaining this accreditation is something that all of us can be proud of.” To read the full article click here
