Green River Mayor Hank Castillon received the 2012 Wyoming Main Street Leadership Award; and the Evanston and Buffalo Main Street programs received the Wyoming Main Street Innovation Award in the Certified and Affiliate community categories, respectively. Castillon was selected due to his personal commitment to see success in the Green River Main Street Program. He has committed hours of his own time to attending Main Street/Urban Renewal Agency (URA) workshops, meetings and retreats to show his support.
Evanston received the 2012 Wyoming Main Street Innovation Award for a Certified Main Street community. The Evanston URA/Main Street was selected due to the vision and leadership shown in the infrastructure projects they have completed downtown, including the entire railroad complex with the Roundhouse, machine shop and visitor center and Depot Square. The Evanston URA was also recognized for their innovation in the protection and economic development of historic buildings in their downtown and events such as the Renewal Ball.
The 2012 Wyoming Main Street Innovation Award for an Aspiring program was presented to the Buffalo Downtown Association. Buffalo was selected for their strong re-organizational efforts and for developing a program that allowed them to apply for Certified status. They have recently become the newest Wyoming Certified Main Street Community.
