Nancy Kidd, Baptist Union County’s director of marketing and physician relations, recently won the Mississippi Main Street Association’s Spirit of Main Street Award.
Kidd accepted the award during the MMSA’s 25th annual awards luncheon in downtown Jackson, Miss. The event honors Main Street managers, board members and volunteers and recognizes the best downtown development projects from Main Street communities in Mississippi.
“This year’s award winners reflect the commitment of many individuals and groups who champion what Main Street is all about—developing the heart of our communities, our historic downtowns, and enhancing quality of life for everyone,” said MMSA Executive Director Bob Wilson.
Since 1993, MMSA has generated more than $4.5 billion in private and public investment. In the past year, Mississippi Main Street programs generated 249 net new businesses, 72 business expansions, 1,228 net new jobs, 94 façade rehabilitations and 248 upper floor housing units. More than 55,297 volunteer hours were recorded.
