The City of Pearsall invites everyone to please take a few minutes to write a letters of support for revitalization of downtown Pearsall as part of the City’s application to join the Main Street Program.

Main Street is a national program that receives state funding. Every year communities throughout the state compete to be selected as one of the five official Main Street Communities inducted into the program. As a Main Street Program participant, the city would be eligible to receive support and services designed to stimulate downtown. The Program gives the background and organization to get entire community involvement to make a positive difference. Applicants are judged on a number of factors including community participation and support and ample volunteer base. Community support is essential to making this program happen.

Tourism and Business Development Director, Cleo Garcia explains that the Main Street program will open up the opportunity for the City to get assistance with branding, architectural design, retail merchandising, and even residential market studies, at no to little cost to the community.

To achieve that, however, there must be community support, and a great way to show that support is by writing a letter about what downtown means to you. Personalized letters are best. Please click here for a sample template to use only as a guide to write and personalize your own letter – the main street committee discourages the use of template letters, they prefer individualized letters.

Because the application must be submitted to the Main Street program by the end of July, we request the letters be submitted no later than July 14th. Please address the letter to City of Pearsall, Main Street Program, at 317 South Oak Street., Pearsall, TX 78061, or email to cgarcia@cityofpearsall.org.
