Downtown Bryan Inc., started as an economic development and revitalization program. I worked with the Mayor, City Council, and the Board of Public Affairs to secure funding for the first year of $35,000. I did a Grant Application with The Bryan Area Foundation to secure $15,000 in additional funding. I assisted in negotiations with Poggemeyer Design Group for a $30,000.00 contract for a downtown development plan which was necessary to apply to the Ohio Department of Development for a $400,000 Block Grant (CDBG) which the city was awarded in 2007. I worked with local merchants to develop plans, ideas, and events to help energize the downtown shopping district. I produced the application document for Heritage Ohio to become a "Main Street" community through the National Trust for Historic Preservation. I was successful in getting Bryan accepted into the program with Heritage Ohio and Bryan was awarded the Main Street Community designation in December 2006 in a ceremony at the State House in Columbus. I was successful in getting the organization the IRS status to become a non profit 501 C-3. I also did fundraising events that included Festivals, Car Shows, and Sidewalk Sales in the downtown. I also developed and started a Wine Tasting Event in November. I brought together the right people to develop a promotional brochure for Bryan, as well as developing a website. I also helped recruit and develop a 9 member Board of Directors of local leaders and business people. The organization is still operating today, mostly with volunteers and acts as a catalyst for downtown activities, promotional events, and helping the merchants around the downtown area.
