The Town of Norfolk will present a “Building Interest in Main Street” workshop June 2, from 10:00 a.m. to noon, at the Hub, 2 Station Place.
The town is seeking municipal and community leaders, anchor institutions, merchants, and property owners who wantparticipate in the workshop and play an active role in strengthening and energizing the downtown.
The program will be a presentation by the Connecticut Main Street Center as an initiative of the Norfolk Economic Development Commission.
This interactive workshop will explain why main streets matter, highlight the benefits of a managed main street approachand engage community leaders in discussion on strengthening the downtown and exploring next steps.
The EDC members have long encouraged citizen participation in directing the development of the town’s business community. In a 2024 letter, they urged, “Achieving these goals will require far more than any commission or committee can accomplish. It will take all of us to support new and existing businesses in town and to welcome young residents…and make sure they have what they need to thrive.”
Those interested in participating should contact the First Selectman’s office at 860-542-5829.
