Organization Committee

The Organization Committee functions as the Board for our Group. Authority is vested in the officers together with representation from each of the Main Street Committees.

In addition to hearing reports from the activities of the other Main Street Committees, it welcomes participation and representation from other community group such as the Manheim Historical Society, Manheim Women’s Club, Lions Club and others.

Through these meetings, we seek to facilitate mutual communication, planning and support. All are welcome to provide input toward achievement of our common goals.

We meet the 4th Monday of each month in the Main Street Office.

Design Committee

The Design Committee monitors the appearance of our downtown by coordinating efforts of borough staff and other community groups to create an inviting atmosphere. This group also oversees the façade improvement guidelines {hot link to what I am attaching}, and grant applications {another hot link to what I am attaching} which are available to properties located in our main street designated area [another hot link to the map I plan to attach]

Meetings are scheduled for the 1st Monday of the month, 7:00pm, 17 N. Main.

Economic Restructuring Committee

The Economic Restructuring Committee focuses on the evaluation and development of our local economy as well as marketing opportunities to encourage business growth. A healthy downtown economy benefits the surrounding community’s residents and businesses that bring jobs to our region.

Recent successes include the coordination with Assets Lancaster in bringing entrepreneurial training to the community.  Please visit:  www.assetslancaster.org

Promotions Committee

The Promotions Committee targets opportunities to increase foot traffic and public awareness. Evens such as the Car Show, Tree Lighting, New Year’s Eve Celebration and Market on the Square serve to attract residents and guests to experience the ambiance and beauty of Market Square. Events downtown also present opportunities for local businesses to introduce their products and services to the community. Through events, media, and our website, we seek to promote Manheim, its heritage, fine qualities, and opportunities.

Working Together – we can enhance downtown Manheim!
