Investment Drive update

GO BACK

The annual investment drive has helped the Bell Tower Thermometer rise right outside of the Main Street office. As of February 28, $44,710.00 of the goal of $75,000 has been raised. The City of Jefferson’s required investment has not been included but has been $20,000 for the past 2 years.

Jefferson Matters: Main Street is a 501 c 3 and relies on investments to operate and complete projects. There are no levels but a list of those individuals and businesses making investments are found on the website under Get Involved. Online donations can be accepted too.
