Mannington Main Street began a special youth
program designed for local youth to promote
volunteerism, community pride, and project implementation steps.
The 6 week program funding, $2,500.00, was awarded to Main Street
in 2011 to create an innovative program within its community through the West Virginia Development
Office.
The participants were given cameras to carry out
their project ideas and create video presentations, as well as
develop visual projects for a panel of judges.
Congratulations team Green Town!!!
The winners of the 2012 I Love My Town Youth Program were
awarded $500.00 to complete the area on the corner of Market
Street and Water Street.
Team "Green Town" was awarded
the funding which included this mural to brighten the area. |
| Main Street has completed the purchase
of the Historic Railroad Train Depot. Members will be working
throughout 2012 to restore and repair the Depot to a functional,
viable space for the city. Grant funding is being sought for the
restoration costs. |
