Thank you!
The City of Huntsville welcomed State Main Street Coordinator Debra Drescher on August 28 for a special
strategic planning session.
According to Lindsay Lauher, Main Street Coordinator, members of the Main Street Advisory Board, the Historic
Preservation Commission and the program's four sub -committees - Promotions, Infrastructure/Design, Economic
Development and the Cabin Advisory Committee — were invited to attend and contribute.
"As part of a free service provided by the state Main Street organization to designated local programs, Drescher
worked with a group of 12 representatives to review our current work plan for the 2013-14 year," Lauher said. "This
session was truly invaluable to our program and our city, and I am very glad we were able to take advantage of it."

During the planning session, Drescher led a discussion which touched on the Huntsville Main Street Program's
strengths and weaknesses and changes in the direction of the program due to the integration of historical
preservation. She also provided insight from similar Main Street cities.
"Following the session, Drescher will provide us with a full report from the discussion including all notes, which I'll
be able to use with my board to develop our new work plan for the 2014-15 year as well as a big picture plan for
the next several years," Lauher said.
