historic downtownThanks to a grant from Janey and Suzi to Silver City MainStreet, new downtown banners were installed promoting downtown. New Mexico MainStreet revitalization specialists worked with Silver City MainStreet, the State Historic Preservation Department, the Town of Silver City and stakeholders to develop a downtown Silver City signage plan that included the design elements of the banners. 

The banners were installed with the help of the Town of Silver City and great volunteers who took down the holiday lights and banners and put up the new banners. 

Signage is one of the most useful placemaking projects a community can implement.

This project is one of the incremental steps that MainStreet has taken over the past 35 years to create a sense of place and connection. All of these projects work together to create repeated opportunities for experience that in turn creates a sense of place. 

The banners help engage residents in the downtown shopping district. 

The mission of Silver City MainStreet is "To encourage a vibrant, historic downtown Silver City which is recognized as the heart of our diverse community." Please visit our website, www.silvercitymainstreet.com to learn more.
