Midway Renaissance is in the process of developing its 2010 Work Plan – the annual goal statement that guides our focus for the year. The board invites citizen input on ideas for inclusion in the Plan. Ideas related to the traditional Main Street categories of Design (including historic preservation), Promotion (including events and tourism), and Economic Restructuring (including downtown business development and retention) are sought. Renaissance includes a strong component of community-building and the arts, and we welcome your submission of ideas in these areas as well.
Midway Renaissance is a certified Mainstreet Program recognized by the Kentucky Heritage Council.
Since 2001, Midway Renaissance, Inc.
has been the conduit of over $2,400,000 to the City of Midway. This money has funded
