Medina's downtown revival credited to community design group
Eight years ago Medina faced decay with vacant shops and run down buildings. A six to seven member group of artists and designers formed the Community Design Committee to reveal 1870s era storefronts through color sketches and photos. Their efforts spurred bank and business refurbishments, higher property values, and new jobs, with the Old Phoenix Bank staying to lead a broader restoration driven by private funds and citizen dedication.
