The Oskaloosa City Council held their final regular meeting of 2023 last night and approved a resolution of support and financial commitment for the Main Street Program.

Main Street Iowa requires a commitment from the local government for partnership and continued support of the Oskaloosa Main Street Program. The Program Continuation Agreement between the city, Oskaloosa Main Street, and the Iowa Department of Economic Development meets that requirement and will support the program for an additional four years through December 31, 2027.

As part of the agreement, the city is obligated to support the program and its approach to revitalize the district, provide funding, and appoint a city official to the Main Street Board.

The Oskaloosa City Council’s next regular meeting will be held on January 2nd, 2024.
