RALEIGH (AP) — A group that represents the people who plan cities and smaller communities wants the public to identify North Carolina’s great main streets.
The North Carolina Chapter of the American Planning Association is selecting three great main streets and honoring a community in the process of creating a well-planned main street.
Nominations for a People’s Choice for best main street close on Friday. The group will announce the winner in May along with its own choices.
The group is looking for streets that tell the story of their communities that also balance between business needs and visual considerations. The street should be appreciated by those driving, biking or walking.
Nominations are possible by submitting two main street photos and a 100-word statement what makes it great to www.nc-apa.org/greatplaces .
