DADE CITY – Downtown Dade City Main Street closed its doors this week after more than 25 years of operation promoting the historic downtown district.
The organization that had as its goal improving the appearance and economic stability of downtown Dade City had suffered a financial decline since 2007, said Downtown Dade City Main Street board member and treasurer Julie Cotton.
“We’re a [nonprofit],” Cotton said. “You have to be financially supported by the general public. It came to the point where I don’t think we were getting the word out enough about the great things we did.”
