URGENT REQUEST

Save the Montana Main Street Program!

Dear Friends,

Last week an amendment to reinstate funding for the Montana Main Street Program in the Senate Finance and

Claims Committee failed with a 10 to 10 vote. HB2 will move to the Senate floor this week and, at this time,

does not contain any funding for this exemplary and most effective program.

Please submit letters of support for the program to your Senator/s and to the Senate Secretary

A Sampler of Recent Success through Main Street:

• Butte's Folk Festivals • Streetscaping in Stevensville, Sheridan & Townsend • Tourism Projects in Shelby, Deer Lodge, Terry,

Glendive, Kalispell, Lewistown & Dillon • Growth Policies in Glasgow and Terry • In 2012 alone: More than 70 Building Projects, More

than 75 jobs, More than 30 New Businesses, Tens of Thousands of Volunteer Hours, Millions of Dollars in New Investments, Numerous Events & Happy Visitors

Help spread the word and forward this message to people in your community working to

promote the vitality and viability of Montana's historic downtowns!
