The purpose of the Preserving Main Street project is to protect and enhance downtown Greensburg. This project makes several improvements to the east side of the city square, which surrounds the community’s historic courthouse tree tower, by leveraging READI funds with private and public investment to address:

1. The renovation and re-use of a condemned 3-story structure known as the Odd Fellows building.

2. Add parking and streetscape improvements to the Franklin Street block, replacing trees and landscaping, and providing safer pedestrian crossings to better service businesses and social gatherings.

3. Redesign and enhance the eastern portion of the Decatur County Courthouse property, creating a more accessible home for the summer Farmers’ Market.
