Discover Main Street
The Lyons Main Street program understands how important a downtown area can
be, so we work to improve our Main Street every day. In addition to helping new
businesses locate, issuing assistance grants, planning networking
opportunities and coordinating beautification projects,
we help host and plan a variety of events to engage the
community. Take a look at some of this year’s fun-filled
events and how they improve our community!
All of our events have their own Facebook page so make
sure to like them, and visit us regularly at
www.lyonsmainstreet.com
to see what’s happening in your downtown.
Let Main Street help you
locate your new business!

those in the Main Street district and corridors Hwy 1,
Hwy 280 and Hwy 292. It has been a wonderful tool for
reinvesting in our town.
