SWEETWATER-On a February night, the crowd was small and the meeting was short, but Sweetwater commissioners tackled some important business Monday.

The commission unanimously voted to support the city's application to become a Main Street city.

The Tennessee Main Street Program through the Tennessee Department of Economic and Community Development follows national guidelines and the prestigious program encourages public-private partnerships to bring about downtown revitalization. The program provides technical assistance to the Main Street cities. There are currently two dozen certified Main Street cities in Tennessee.
