'Main Street' committee to form to help with future project

With the prospect of a Main Street reconstruction project looming in the Village of Brockport, officials decided to form a Main Street Committee. The committee would be charged with working with officials through the reconstruction project from conception through developing a marketing strategy to keep the businesses alive downtown during the construction phase.

Trustee Carrie Maziarz said the village board is looking for a cross section of people to serve on the committee. "We are looking to gather the stakeholders," she said.

While the membership of the board is not set in stone yet, Maziarz said they will be looking for someone from SUNY at Brockport, Main Street business people, members from the Walk! Bike! group and village residents. "We hope to get this committee up and running and have its first meeting within a month," she said.
