For many years, Mammoth officials and citizens have dreamed about, talked about, and worked on a re-make of Main Street. Tonight, in a joint workshop with the Planning and Economic Development Commission, the Mammoth Town Council will receive a presentation and discussion on a Draft Main Street Plan.

On their regular meeting agenda that starts at 6pm, the Council will meet a new Tourism Business Improvement District Accounting Assistant, Maureen McClain.
