Main Street Program focused on beautification, new events

Town of Warsaw:
“From hanging lush, green plants along a central roadway in town to holding innovative events at Warsaw Town Park, the Warsaw-Richmond County Main Street Program continues to make strides towards meeting its goal of attracting more families and businesses to the community that they call the heart of the Northern Neck.

Following the visible success of Warsaw’s new playground in the park and an annual Main Street Program meeting that, according to Executive Director Patricia Pugh, was well-attended by 25 to 30 citizens, the program is focused this year on multiple beautification projects as well as on its new ‘Season of Shindigs’ that will feature four family-centered events for residents from Richmond County and beyond to enjoy.

Recently, the MSP, with a helping hand from Northern Neck Electric Cooperative, hung ferns from the poles along Main Street in Warsaw. Local resident Harold Childs made a note of appreciation for the parties responsible for the hanging baskets. ‘They are and have been noticed and discussed by local travelers,’ said Childs. Alongside the ferns, Pugh said there would be other projects and activities taking place throughout the community all the time.”
