Main Street Bowling Green has returned to its roots and changed its name to
Downtown Bowling Green.
Main Street Bowling Green has renewed its focus on
serving the needs of the downtown property owners and merchants. The name change
symbolizes the rededication and reflects a return to the organization's roots.
With its focus on revitalization and preservation, the state organization's
goals were closely aligned with those of the local group, and the relationship
was mutually beneficial. But over the years, Main Street Bowling Green evolved
differently than Heritage Ohio and other local groups. The structural
differences, coupled with an increase in the cost of membership and the
difficult economy, led to the conclusion that membership in Heritage Ohio no
longer served the needs of downtown Bowling Green.
