The main square has been one, if not the most memorable locations in cities like Girard, it’s a center for shops, food and business. However, a major obstacle current and new businesses face is the maintenance of the buildings which house them, but there could soon be some help. “In order to have jobs and people who want to live here, and come back to Girard, we need a healthy square. We need businesses here, a place to shop, just all around it starts with the square,” says Mark Schifferdecker, GNBank President & CEO. Maintaining the historic buildings in the Girard square has been a major goal for the city, and thanks to a recent award, it could see an old program emerge in a new way.
