SAULT STE. MARIE, MI-- Sault Ste. Marie is one of three cities around the state to be chosen to take part in the Selected Level Michigan Main Street Program.
Under the program the Soo will receive five years of technical assistance from the Michigan Economic Development Corporation. The focus will be on strategies designed to attract new residents, business investments, economic growth, and job creation to the central business district.
Michigan Main Street aims to create communities distinguished by a “sense of place.” Officials say studies indicate investing in creating a sense of place is an integral part of developing vibrant city centers and downtowns.
