Columbia Mayor asks for votes in $25,000 contest

From Tiffany Collins

Mayor Pam Hoots and the national small business movement, Independent We Stand, announced the quarterfinalists, which include the Public Square of Columbia, in the 2020 “America’s Main Streets” contest - the only Kentucky town selected.

As the lifeblood of our cities and towns, Main Streets (including Public Squares) play an important role in the long-term success of communities and help build a sense of place.

Mayor Hoots said, "Let’s work hard over the next month - everyone go to the links daily and put in your 25 votes.


Yes, 25 votes per person per day!! It takes no time at all!! #americasmainstreet #mainstreetcontest #columbia #public-square #independentwestand Share this to every one you know here, there and everywhere and ask them to vote!" You can also click here and vote during the month. The City of Columbia's nomination of the Public Square was the only one from the State of Kentucky in the quarterfinals.
