Members of the Saline Main Street board are planning a meeting with state representative and residents on Monday at 7 p.m. to talk about the program, how it can help Saline and how anyone interested can get involved.

Board members and representatives from the Michigan Main Street Center will give a short presentation and answer questions at the Saline Middle School media center. Members of the Saline Main Street board also will be on hand to share the results of an assessment conducted by the Michigan Main Street Center and National Trust Main Street Center. The assessment included speaking to business owners and representatives from organizations, commissions, youth, and city staff to assess the state of Downtown Saline and help to determine projects for the future.

Residents will learn about some of the first projects that the new organization will undertake as part of the Main Street Four-Point Approach.
