Nob Hill is Awarded the Main Street Program

The MainStreet Program is coming back to Historic Nob Hill. The New Mexico MainStreet Program is a grassroots economic development program that assists communities in revitalizing their traditional commercial neighborhoods and is a division of the New Mexico Economic Development Department.

After an extensive application process, Secretary Fred Mondragon came to Scalo's and awarded Nob Hill as an addition to the New Mexico MainStreet Program.

On Thursday May 28, 2009 the Nob Hill Neighborhood Association will be hosting a meeting to share how this will help revitalize Nob Hill. It will be held at Emmanuel Presbyterian Church from 6:30 to 8:30.
