Perry Main Street Board Preps Work Plan For 2025 | |

The Perry Main Street Board held its annual retreat in late February, focusing on strategic planning for 2025. Facilitated by the Georgia Municipal Association, members reflected on past successes, conducted a SWOT analysis, and set key priorities.
Using insights from recent business and community surveys, the board identified areas for improvement and growth. Guided by the Four-Point Main Street Approach—Design, Economic Vitality, Promotion, and Organization—discussions centered on enhancing public spaces, supporting local businesses, and fostering a welcoming community.
With a clear vision and actionable goals, the board is committed to strengthening Downtown Perry in 2025.

What Is Street Sweeping?

This keeps our community clean and prevents blockages in the storm drainage system.
