Main Street Manning Vision Statement
​
Manning’s vibrant Main Street with its clean and attractive storefronts will be a gathering place, inviting the community to shop, work and play. The welcoming downtown will be a mainstay for the city with convenient and easy access to a good variety of retail businesses, services, health care, and industry affording a comfortable way of life. A collaborative cooperative support system between businesses, the school, the city and all economic development partners will promote Manning’s quality of life and attract new businesses and people - bringing jobs, increased business profitability and more opportunity for youth to stay.

Encourage Involvement

The Main Street program is volunteer driven, and Manning is no exception...we owe our success to the Manning area residents who spent countless hours and dollars for the betterment of their hometown.  No matter what your passion, Main Street Manning has ways you can volunteer to give back to your community.  Whether you can commit 10 hours a month or 2 hours a year, a volunteer opportunity awaits you. For more information on exciting, worthwhile Main Street volunteer opportunities, contact Executive Director Sarah McPherson. 

Manning is your heritage and community also.  Feel free to offer suggestions for improvement and to assist us in any manner!  Experience Manning - It's Refreshing!
