ASHLAND – Once again, unique, hand-painted, one-of-a-kind rain barrels will take over the downtown areas of Loudonville and Ashland next month.
Not only will the rain barrels help to increase awareness of the importance of stormwater, but they will be available for residents and businesses to bid on and take home with them.
“I am just really excited with all of the community involvement, let alone the artists!” said Katie Eikleberry, fiscal and education specialist with Ashland Soil and Water Conservation District. “Our artists have so much talent, it is definitely impressive.”
Rain Beat on Main Street is coordinated by Ashland SWCD, but is a real community-wide effort to increase awareness of stormwater issues and raise funds for water quality education.

ASHLAND Mayor Matt Miller has had a vision of a redefined downtown since he first ran for mayor in 2017.
Miller had a plan put in place called the Targeted Action Plan. This would encompass a four-step program to help the city improve, with Main Street Plaza being a tentpole step.
A five-year plan in the making, Main Street Plaza on 80 E. Main St. will open June 12. [We] spent so much time in the planning stage, Miller said. It usually takes years to put together and finalize those resources.
The four-step program starts off with a downtown plaza, something the city lacked; a town square area where the community could gather for events. The project was called Main Street Plaza.
