Main Street McMinnville's Website Receives 200,000 Hits

Main Street McMinnville launched their new website on December 27, 2007 and within two months has had more hits than all previous years combined. The new site has also received attention for Channel 4 in Nashville, several tourism organizations and several local attractions that have commented on how professional it is.

The new site has been continually updated weekly with new content including news, shops, calendar of events, and promotions. The site also provides a form for volunteers to become involved as well as donate to the organization.  "A new volunteer signed up within days of the new site going live" says Chris Wilson, director of Main Street McMinnville.  Later in the year, a new imap of downtown will be available with a description and photos of each business. It will create a virtual web page for each business that will be searchable from the web.

The website was made possible through a Tennessee Main Street Innovation Grant and designed by ATSA.
