Sixth Avenue Corridor Designated ‘Urban Main Street District’
The 6th Avenue Corridor through River Bend and Cheatom Park has been designated an Urban Neighborhood Main Street District by the Iowa Department of Economic Development. Businesses, nonprofits, and residents in the River Bend Neighborhood will work with the state over the next two years to organize a business association, connect property owners to historic preservation resources, brand and market the corridor and its businesses, and push the streetscape project forward.
The first major meeting regarding the program will occur on June 16. This will be an opportunity to learn more about the program and how neighbors and business owners can get involved to ensure that the Corridor continues to improve and local businesses prosper.
More information about the “Urban Main Street District” designation, and the Sixth Avenue Corridor in particular, are found in this Business Record article.
