The City of Griffin is hiring a new managing director for our downtown's Main Street Program. I think it is time to put a Griffin citizen in this position - someone that has spent years investing in the businesses and activities of Downtown; a person with relationships all over the city; that loves this town, wants to see it succeed and grow, and has the administrative experience to get the job done. That person is Melissa Tober and she has applied for the job. Let's tell the City that we want her in the Main Street Program. Your input is your right as a citizen and I personally do not see the Main Street program producing beneficial outcomes for Downtown Griffin without a committed local person at the helm. This petition is to communicate to the City of Griffin that the Downtown Griffin Stakeholders care about who is in charge of the Main Street program and we want it to be Melissa Tober! You can read about it from Melissa in her own words: "Dear City of Griffin, Main Street wants ME! Why? I live here, I love it here, and I want to be the official cheerleader for our burgeoning Downtown Business District. Local business owners and managers need a Director of the Main Street Program from within the community who can inspire the people to “live here, play here”, and cultivate the growing “work, live, and play here” culture. We have a beautiful town with a wealth of creative and passionate people, and it is time we share the secret so others can experience the flair Griffin has to offer. I want to harness the resources of the Main Street Program to show off what we have here as well as encourage and empower new development. I am personally invested in the success of this town, and I am ready to encourage the people of Griffin to invest in our future as well. I have submitted my application to the City of Griffin for the Main Street Director position and I hope I can count on your support. Please contact me with any questions you may have.
