Annually Illinois Main Street recognizes outstanding projects in four categories. This year Genoa Main Street was an award winner in two of those categories.
The Community Ice Rink was a winner in the Design Category. The project impressed the judges because it is an attractive feature downtown, brings people into downtown during a slow time of the year and makes good use of an otherwise vacant property.
Genoa Springboard, their small business incubator, was a winner in the Economic Development Category. Winning features of the project included the successful graduation of two businesses from the incubator, the many additional new businesses Springboard attracted that filled other available downtown space, and the positive impact the project has had on Genoa’s image as an entrepreneur – friendly city.
