According to a release from the Wyoming Business Council, several scholarships are available for the National Main Streets Conference in Detroit, Mich., May 17-20, 2014. The trip includes a Wyoming Main Street-sponsored Best Practices Workshop that will tour Main Street communities in Michigan, May 15-17, to learn how Main Street principles are being applied in other communities.

The scholarships cover airfare to and from an applicant’s nearest airport and Detroit, conference registration fees, and lodging during the Best Practices Workshop and conference. Scholarship applications are due to Wyoming Main Street no later than March 3.
