The Ord Area Chamber of Commerce has played an active role in reviatlizing Main Street Ord. A group of local business owners worked with the City Council to develop a plan for renovation of downtown Ord. The project includes streets, sidewalks, curbs, gutters and historic lighting. Construction began in April 2007. The project will be paid for by assessments to property owners, two grants and a 1/2 cent city sales tax. For more information, contact Bethanne Kunz at (308) 728-7875.
