Our Vision
The vision of Shelby Main Street is striving to make our downtown a vibrant, prosperous and growing community where people want to live, work and play.
Downtown Shelbyville's newest sculpture has arrived!
On Friday, June 26th, a crane helped set our 2nd sculpture in place in front of the new Stargazer Plaza. A beautiful morning helped to set the stage for a nice crowd of onlookers to welcome "Reaching for our Potential" created by Dave Caudill to our downtown! Welcome to the neighborhood!
Be sure to watch for additional sculptures to arrive in July!
Special thanks goes to Shelby Main Street's Design Committee, Mayor David Eaton and our Public Works Department for their assistance in bringing this feature to Shelbyville's Main Street!
