VISION

To preserve historic buildings and create appealing green spaces in the downtown areas of Brownstown and Ewing.

 

WHO HAS A STAKE IN THIS REVITALIZATION EFFORT?

Everyone does? The “face” of our community determines whether those driving through are going to stop – eat- shop – live or invest in a business or industry. Brownstown is a great place to live, raise families, go to church and school and do business. So let's do what is necessary to present a good face to everyone passing through.

We need your help to restore Brownstown's former charm and commercial viability.

Will you accept the challenge?
