Winter Strategies

Winter is a part of life in Michigan. And while drinking hot chocolate on the couch and watching Netflix all winter can sound lovely, we still have vibrant downtowns with small businesses which rely on customers to survive. In response to the upcoming winter season and unique challenges presented by the pandemic, Michigan Main Street has compiled resources to help communities make the best of the season. Don't worry - you can still binge that Netflix show, but just do it after your walk downtown.
