This rehabilitation project has <br />encouraged a community-wide appreciation for our local historic sites for which we are grateful. <br /> <br />In addition, the Paris Visitors and Convention Council has successfully solicited the visitation of <br />an historic excursion train between Hugo, Oklahoma and Paris, Texas. The passengers have a <br />three-hour layovcr in which to experience our bcautiful downtown Paris. <br /> <br />In 1985 when Paris applied for Tcxas Main Street dcsignation, the Paris Visitors and Convention <br />Council wholeheartedly supported our city's participation, Now that there is a renewed interest <br />in participating in the program, we continuc to support our city's efforts, <br /> <br />I hope you will look favorably upon the City of Paris' application for participation as either a self- <br />initiated Main Street City or as a Main Street Graduate City, The re-designation will strengthen <br />our existing projects and greatly enhance continued development within our historic district. <br /> <br />Very truly yours, <br /> <br />~~~r~ <br /> <br />Director <br /> <br />I <br />0, <br />I 1~) <br />,~ .t <br /> <br />1651 CLARKSVlLLE STREET PARIS, TEXAS 75460 903.784.2501 FAX 903.784.2503 <br />hltp:!!v.ww2.1 stamet.comlpedc ernail: Iss Cstargale.1 stamet.com <br />
