Join us for "Mainifesting Main Workshops" this spring! 

View this email in your browser News from Main Street Help Us Capture a Clear, Common Vision for Downtown April 13-15   This project is a collaborative effort with City of Ellsworth, sponsored by Franklin Savings Bank with support from the Maine Community Foundation and led by HUB Collective. The project goal is to understand the current assets of the downtown area and explore its potential. Asset mapping is a systematic process of cataloging key services, benefits, and resources within a community, such as organizational resources, physical space, institutions, associations, and elements of the local economy, and in this case a heavy focus on community vision. We can't wait to work together!   Full Schedule of Events Jane's Walk Partnership Event - May 7   Join the Ellsworth Historical Society in partnership with Heart of Ellsworth and sponsored by Flexit Cafe for the first Annual Jane’s Walk. This global festival of free, volunteer-led walking conversations is inspired by community activist Jane Jacobs. Jane’s Walks combine the simple act of exploring a place with personal observations, local history, and civic engagement. The annual Jane’s Walk festival takes place the first weekend in May, in more than 200 cities and towns around the globe. This year, it will be held in Maine on May 7 in downtown Ellsworth. More detailed info about Ellsworth's walk will be available soon.  Flowers on Main Street Program - Heart of Ellsworth We are gearing up for our 2022 season with our flower pots on Main street.
