I look forward to working closely with business and property owners, investors and developers, and members of our community. Together, Downtown Melbourne will thrive and meet the demands of the changing marketplace.”

To ensure the goals for the new strategic plan are met, Melbourne Main Street also welcomes two new team members. Marketing and Event Coordinator Jackie Mickelson comes back to her home state of Florida from Durango, Colorado.
