The Town of Stevensville has been awarded a Preserve America grant for historic downtown planning and capacity-building activities. The Stevensville Main Street Association applied for the $7500 grant on behalf of the town, and the funds will be used to hire a consultant who will facilitate a series of meetings that will include leaders of the Stevensville Civic Club, the Stevensville Community Foundation, the Stevensville Main Street Association and representatives of town government, with the goal of coordinating efforts in long-range strategic planning.
