AF Main Street Association attends national convention By Megan Walgren Members of American Fork's Main Street Association are tackling local main street projects with renewed vigor after attending a National Main Street convention in Indianapolis. Aound 3,000 delegates from large cities and small towns attended the April conference with activities, seminars and tours aimed at revitalizing down town main street areas. Linda Walton, A.F. Economic Development Director and Main Street Manager, was one of the 14 American Fork residents who attended. "It was like going to heaven," Walton said. "We're in the ground stages here of finding out what people want. Looking at downtown Indianapolis was gorgeous. It give you the big picture of what it can look like." The American Fork Main Street Association has been around for about a year and a half. It is made up of businesses busi-nesses interested in seeing AF's downtown area redeveloped rede-veloped and revitalized. Walton said some things seen at the conference she and others have in mind for , American Fork include historic his-toric preservation and facade renovation. "There were a lot of buildings that were restored and used, not just made into museums. One was a beautiful theater," she said. City council member Juel Belmont also liked the way Indianapolis buildings were being used. One of her favorite parts of the confer- Dates set for Dates have ' been announced for ' the American Fork High School boys summer basketball clinics. The first session is set for June 4-8, with the second to be held on June 18-22. The cost is $35 for one week or $80 for both, with a camp tee-shirt included. Instruction will be provided pro-vided by the AFHS coaching staff, with special guest Michael Doleac of the Orlando Magic. The times for next year's elementary through eighth grade players is 9 through 11 a.m. Grades 9 and 10 go from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., and grades 11 and 12 from 7 to 9 a.m. These skill development Navada Smith, Evan Kindred Cascade Collision Technicians Complete Course Navada Smith, Lehi and Evan Kindred, Layton have successfully completed the l-CAR Automotive Plastic Repair and Refinishing course.

We are proud to have Evan and Navada working for us and for their continual commitment to improving their Knowledge and skills, states Russel Nichols, Production Manager. lll.l A l.Jtd ence was a tour displaying how second stories of old downtown buildings were used. "There were apartments, offices, art galleries and all kinds cf things," she said. "A big part is making Main Street economically viable. Our goal is not just to restore buildings but to make them work." Belmont remembers as a child in American Fork she could find anything she needed in shops on Main Street. "You could go downtown and get anything you wanted want-ed from small shops," Belmont said. She would like to see that kind of vibrancy on American Fork's Main Street again. "We'd like to see every store front filled with a variety of businesses" she said. "I'd like to be able to go downtown, buy a wedding present, get some lunch, pay my bills at city hall and drop of my mail, then shop for some clothes." Other focuses were street projects, festivals, benches and bicycle paths. Those things added not just to the look of the area but the overall livability. They add to the arts, charity chari-ty and education," Walton said. What Walton found uplifting about the conference confer-ence was "finding out we're not alone on the issues we face." She found a presentation on a Minnesota city was very inspiring. "Their community is similar sim-ilar to ours. The freeway bypassed it and the big family fam-ily department stores moved out. They had so boys basketball clinics: clinics focus on offensive and defensive fundament tals.

Sometimes I get discouraged discour-aged and think it will never work, but they've pulled it off beautifully." Another area in which Walton felt she received help was how to deal with a main street that is also a state road. , "UDOT is not particularly particular-ly pedestrian friendly. There's other cities who gave us advice on how to deal with them," she said. "We're currently working with UDOT to try to slojv traffic down and improve off-street parking." j Belmont would like to see commuter rail conrfe back to American Fork. "We used to have it and'a lot of people used it. t brought a lot of people right to Main Street. It would be a great thing to have that coming through again," she said. Other projects the Main Street Association is work-r ing on include be'autifica-tion be'autifica-tion through trees and flowerpots, flow-erpots, and business activities activi-ties during Steel Days arid the Olympics. Belmont said, "There were a lot of people representing repre-senting big cities and small towns from across the U.S. and their success rates have been very good. It's a different differ-ent perspective on America and small towns. We're hoping hop-ing we can do some good and bring the life back to our downtown.
