2022 State of Main Street Listening Tour

State Auditor Julie Blaha invites you to join us for the 2022 State of Main Street listening tour. This years listening sessions will be focused on the five major regions of our state (NE, NW, SE, SW, Metro) and conducted virtually via Zoom.

The annual State of Main Street is an opportunity for the Office of the State Auditor to hear from you directly to ensure our numbers tell the real story of your community. We will share data from our city, town and county reports, hear from a panel of local government leaders, and ask for your reactions. By pulling our data and your expertise together, we will all make better decisions for our communities.

Here are the State of Main Street 2022 Trends for discussion. Please note that these are preliminary numbers subject to minor change pending the final city and county reports.
