Thursday evening Main Street Lincoln and its directors hosted an open house in their new location, helping to familiarize folks on just how to find them when they are needed.

Main Street was occupying a ground-floor space next to National Rent To Own. When the furniture store expressed a desire to expand, the Main Street office location was the best option. In the meantime, there were plenty of nice office spaces upstairs in the same building, so Main Street made the move, making for a good situation for everyone.

The Main Street offices consist of a private office for executive director Bill Hoagland and a board room. To reach the offices, take the door with the green canopy that says Griesheim Building, go to the second floor and take the hallway to the right, then left.
