Timnath joins Colorado Main Street program

Timnath has been designated a Colorado Main Street community, according to a June 3 release from the Colorado Department of Local Affairs shared by the town.

The town joins 31 other Colorado communities and more than 1,300 communities nationwide in the Main Street program, which supports downtown revitalization through technical assistance, funding and other resources.

According to the release, Timnath joined the program to preserve its authenticity while building a downtown that reflects the community. Colorado Main Street Program Manager Gayle Langley said the program will support Timnath in its economic development efforts as it “embrace[s], enhance[s], and preserve[s] the elements that make their community so special.”

Katie Gibson, chair of the Timnath Main Street Board, said the town’s downtown is “lived in, imperfect, and full of character.”
