Our community is a fantastic place to live because of the amazing people who make it so. They understand that it takes continuous effort to keep our downtown thriving, vibrant, and welcoming. Main Street Chillicothe is proud to support the community members, businesses, and organizations that maintain a high level of passion for our downtown community. Now, it’s time to stand up and be recognized.

Main Street Chillicothe is excited to introduce our new Downtown Community Spotlight Program. This initiative showcases our wonderful downtown patrons, highlighting their best qualities and uncovering their unique quirks. These individuals are leaving their mark on the downtown community, making it a place where everyone wants to be, and our goal is to introduce them to you.

Spotlights will be featured on Main Street’s website and on our social media platforms weekly. These spotlights could feature anyone—business owners, partners, Main Street board and committee members, and our amazing volunteers.

Additionally, Main Street Chillicothe will be publishing monthly newsletters. These newsletters will keep you updated on all news and upcoming events for Main Street Chillicothe and feature several Downtown Spotlights along the way. The newsletter will be available through email, on our website and social media platforms, and in physical form at various locations throughout the downtown area. Sign up for our newsletter at www.downtownchilli.com/subscribe
