Downtown Farmington to the next round
Downtown Farmington: A MainStreet Project is among this year’s nominees in the America’s Main Streets contest. The contest is hosted by national small business movement, Independent We Stand. Winners are selected through an online voting process where citizens can cast their votes one time per day from February 25 through April 21. The top prize is $25,000, which will be used to install additional wayfinding signs to help visitors locate free parking, public facilities and businesses.
Michael Bulloch, executive director of Downtown Farmington explained, “We are excited about the
opportunity to participate in this national competition and want to shine a light on all the positive things that are happening in Historic Downtown Farmington. We believe that artistic wayfinding signage located in our Main Street and new Arts and Cultural District, to direct downtown visitors to public amenities, free parking, and individual businesses, will have a huge impact for our locally owned businesses. We are looking at kiosks and other wayfinding signage that will have an artistic flare featuring reproductions of actual artwork. We want to include local artists in the process, calling attention to our great cultural assets. In order to win, we need as many people to vote for us every day.”
A Main Street program since 1996, Downtown Farmington is nationally accredited and administered by the City of Farmington's Parks, Recreation and Cultural Affairs Department and the City's Metropolitan Redevelopment Area Board in partnership with the New Mexico MainStreet Program. Downtown Farmington: A MainStreet Project is committed to promoting commerce, the arts, culture, and community in the HeART of Farmington Historic District.
