We had the chance to talk with Melanie Black-Amato as she is the newly appointed director of the newly formed Main Street Barberton program. Main Street Barberton is a 501c3 that is setup to help reinvigorate downtown Barberton on Tusc and 2nd street.
She explains that the Main Street program is a template that's been proven successful by having been used in over 2,000 cities throughout the United States. This partially possible with collaborative efforts with The City of Barberton, The Barberton Community Foundation, and numerous other donors.
Make sure that you take a listen to this as there is a ton of great information about the future of downtown Barberton and the city itself in this weeks episode!
