About Us
		For several years, the idea of becoming a Main Street designated community has been debated among people in Marietta. A few months ago, Mayor Mullen invited citizens who had a strong interest in revitalizing Marietta to come together and begin holding monthly meetings to explore the possibility of becoming a designated Main Street Community. With the Mayor’s encouragement, this small citizens’ committee has been meeting regularly and has matured into a more formal group that has chosen the name “ReStore Marietta”. The group has progressed to the point where it has drafted and adopted By-Laws and Articles of Incorporation, applied for and received an EIN, gotten a postal box (PO Box 5013, Marietta, OH 45750), created a checking account and has applied for non-profit status.      ReStore Marietta is positioned to become an incredibly powerful force in revitalizing Marietta. A non-governmental, non-profit organization like ReStore Marietta has the ability to apply for and receive federal grant money and private grant money to do things like buy and restore dilapidated buildings, create green spaces of rest where vacant lots sit now, to refurbish the upper floors of down town properties so they are affordable and suitable for moderate income singles or families and smaller projects like the creation of more street festivals and family-friendly events.
