Historic Downtown Kendallville is currently an accredited Indiana Main Street organization and Main Street America Affiliate, but we have an opportunity to become Main Street America Accredited in 2023! Nationally accredited Main Streets have front-row access to additional grants and other funding, as well as workshops and general support that other Main Streets do not. There are just 14 nationally accredited Main Streets in the state of Indiana. Together, we can make Historic Downtown Kendallville (HDK) the fifteenth! On Friday, February 3, 2023, Main Street America staff will visit Kendallville to review and assess HDK's progress towards meeting the criteria to achieve national accreditation. They want to hear from you - the community and stakeholders - on a variety of topics. The agenda for the February 3rd meeting is shared below, as well as recommendations to help you determine which sessions you should attend.
