Congratulations Yerington NV Main Street Committee!
The Yerington Main Street Committee has officially achieved Main Street America Accredited Status, one of the highest recognitions available for Main Street programs in the nation! We are proud to be recognized in the recent press release from the Governor’s Office of Economic Development highlighting Nevada’s accredited Main Street programs.
This achievement reflects the hard work, partnerships, volunteerism, and community pride that continue to move Yerington forward. Accreditation confirms that the Yerington Main Street Committee is meeting rigorous national standards in organization, economic vitality, design, and promotion.
What makes this accomplishment even more significant is that many Main Street programs take approximately five years to achieve Accredited Status and Yerington accomplished this milestone in just three years.
During the City Council meeting on Tuesday, May 26th, the Governor’s Office of Economic Development’s Shari Davis presented the Yerington Main Street Committee with its official Main Street America Accredited certificate. The City of Yerington and Yerington Main Street Committee President Scott Draper also recognized Executive Director Melanie Young Pinkerton for her success and dedication in advancing the Yerington Main Street Committee to the Main Street America Accredited Designation.
This recognition belongs to the entire community and all those who continue to support revitalization, beautification, small businesses, arts, tourism, and economic development efforts in Yerington.
And the best part… this is only the beginning.
