Beverly Main Streets Awarded Travel & Tourism COVID-19 Recovery Grant

BEVERLY, MA — Beverly Main Streets was one of several North Shore organizations to share in the state's Travel & Tourism Recovery grant funding

TTR Grants are dedicated to campaigns and initiatives that increase consumer spending, support local businesses, and advance community recovery efforts to support businesses in Massachusetts.

Beverly Main Streets Inc. was one of the Tier 1 recipients of a $45,000 award.

The grant will go toward a branding program to reengage the downtown community around the Main Streets and Cultural District, highlight the district as a unique destination on the North Shore, and create awareness of the assets of the District.

Peabody Main Streets, the Essex National Heritage Commission, the North Shore Community Development Coalition and Destination Salem also received comparable awards.
