It’s not too late to make your mark on Main St.
Main Street McMinnville will be extending the deadline to purchase decorative commemorative items for the downtown McMinnville restoration project until March 31.
The estimated $4.8 million Main Street McMinnville project is ready to begin the phase one construction, according to officials. This project is the first step in a major overhaul of the historical downtown area.
As part of this project, the commemorative items such as engraved bricks, decorative benches, and street lights can be purchased and dedicated to whomever the purchaser desires. The proceeds benefit the Main Street project, giving citizens a chance to become part of McMinnville’s history.
Organizers say these items are a tax-deductible donation, and a great way to commemorate loved ones, groups, or anyone and anything someone would like to honor.
“This would be an excellent gift for that person who has everything,” said Chris Wilson, director of Main Street McMinnville.
The items available and prices are as follows: engraved brick, $100; stone inset with historic logo, $250; a street tree with fence and plantings, $500; a decorative bench, $750; a street lamp with a single globe, $1,250.
