and the Warehouse win MS Mainstreet Awards |
The
Mississippi Mainstreet Association held their awards ceremony
on June 12 at the Hilton in Jackson. Ann Dilworth, Cleveland
Mainstreet Director, says Cleveland was presented with two
awards this year. The downtown Walking Trail was recognized
as Best Downtown Improvement and The Warehouse on Sharpe
Street received the Best Historic Preservation Project Award.
Dilworth says she entered the two projects into the competition
by sending in a narrative write-up along with photographs. |
