Owosso Main Street/DDA (OMS) is a volunteer-led organization that exists to foster an active and thriving downtown that is the heart of our community by promoting historic preservation and drawing both local residents and visitors to our city.
We use the Main Street Four-Point Approach® process as an opportunity to introduce volunteers into the more traditional, professional-led downtown development historically completed by the Owosso Downtown Development Authority (DDA). This process requires that the program be led by a Board of Directors. The board of Owosso Main Street is the board of the Owosso DDA.
THE OMS BOARD OF DIRECTORS OVERSEES VOLUNTEER WORK IN FOUR COMMITTEES:
- Promotion
- Organization
- Design
- Economic Vitality
Owosso Main Street is in need of assistance with watering downtown's flowers this summer.
We unexpectedly found ourselves without a vendor to water the petunia hanging baskets and bridge baskets two weeks before our flower delivery. Thankfully, we found a new vendor who has availability to water in the beginning of the week, but we've been unable to find someone to cover the rest of the week.
The City of Owosso staff have come together to cover as many watering shifts as they can on top of their traditional responsibilities. We hope you'll join us and help keep our flowers hydrated this summer!
Join us in cleaning up Historic Downtown Owosso!
This is a great way for individuals, groups and families to volunteer and give back to our town. Bring yourself and any preferred supplies and prepare for a day of feeling good while doing good.
Gloves, trash bags and water will be provided. Additional tools, such as trash grabbers, may be available in limited quantities.
All ages are welcome! CLICK HERE to sign up.
