(Rain date is August 8th.) Help Us Prepare for Ellsworth's Maine Downtown Center Site Visit

On Aug. 15, Maine Downtown Center will be visiting Downtown Ellsworth as part of our Main Street America designation application process. We submitted our application in early June. If selected, Ellsworth will become the 11th Main Street community in Maine and the only Main Street community in Hancock, Washington, and Penobscot counties. This designation would put Ellsworth on the map as having an economically vibrant and sustainable downtown with a proven track record of community engagement.

The application review team will visit downtown and, in preparation for the site visit, we’re hosting a Volunteer Clean-up Day on Aug. 6th from 8:30 am to 12:00 pm. We invite you to join our Design Committee to help beautify downtown by weeding and cleaning up Main Street and other downtown locations.

Different tasks will be available, such as weeding, picking up trash, watering, and more! Please be prepared to work in the sun, and bring water, sun protection, gardening gloves, and weeding tools.

Sign up to volunteer to help here.
