Designated a 2008 Main Street Iowa Community, the Woodbine program now boasts over 8 million dollars in private investment to date in the Main Street District. A 2010-11 Community Development Block Grant fueled a partnership between private business owners, the City of Woodbine, and the Main Street program’s Downtown Revitalization Façade Master Plan: nearly every building façade in the Main Street District underwent renovation and energy efficiency improvements. The Iowa Economic Development Authority & Main Street Iowa announced Woodbine’s participation as a 2008 Green Pilot Community.
