Faribault Community Marketing Director Nort Johnson is scheduled to join us on AM Minnesota at 9:30 this morning.

In addition to being in charge of tourism, Johnson coordinates the Main Street program in Faribault. The Main Street program is a commercial revitalization strategy that helps communities preserve historic buildings and develop strategies for continuous improvement in the vitality of the downtown. It's a community-based effort to revitalize the central business district in Faribault. More than 1,700 communities have used the program over the past 25 years.

Here is the mission statement for the organization: "The Faribault Main Street Program is organized to unify the Central Business District, with emphasis on Central Avenue, to create an attractive destination in which businesses prosper, the community benefits and residents and visitors enjoy a quality downtown experience."

If you can't tune in at 9:30AM, go to our YouTube channel and take in the show on your own time.
