Old Town Winchester: Summer Events & New Beginnings

It was our final conversation today with Alex Flanigan in her role as Main Street Program Manager for the City of Winchester. When today's show aired, she has already moved on to a new career challenge. She took some time to talk with us last week (while she was still a city employee) and explained what will happen with the Main Street Program moving forward. Joining her was Katie Mooney-Buzby, Executive Director of the Peter Bullough Foundation and Chair for the (soon to be named) new Main Street non-profit organization. We talked about the changes that will be coming as the new organization finalizes its structure/non-profit status to become the agency of record for Old Town Winchester. Alex explained why this was the chosen path and told us all the reasons why it makes sense to have a new organization to maintain and manage many of the facets of downtown. Katie explained the purpose of Main Street organizations and talked about their goals and objectives for moving forward. Alex also gave us details for a few upcoming events, talked about First Fridays, and praised the improvements that have come (and continue to come) to Piccadilly Street.
