| Main Street to conduct workshop in Holly Springs Mississippi Main Street Association will host a planning charrette in Holly Springs on Nov. 17-19. The
charrette consists of a team of professionals working with Holly
Springs citizens to develop a plan and vision for the future of the
North Mississippi town. The charrette will kick
off Monday, Nov. 17, at 6 p.m. in the Eddie Lee Smith Multi-Purpose
Building located at 235 North Memphis Street. A final presentation will
be made on the evening of Wednesday, Nov 19. The
Holly Springs project is part of a program funded by a grant from the
Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC). A total of 14 counties have
been selected to participate in the program funded by ARC and/or the
West Alabama-East Mississippi WIRED Initiative, including the Main
Street communities of Holly Springs, Carthage and Water Valley. Charrette
is a French word that signifies work being done in front of the public
and is an appropriate name for a community-driven initiative. The
three-day program signifies a beginning rather than an end and will
give a solid start to Holly Springs Main Street, a new program of the
Mississippi Main Street Association. For more
information, contact Sam Agnew, MMSA Northern District director, at
(662) 620-2533 or Clencie Cotton with Holly Springs Main Street at
(662) 278-9459.
