Julie Kreilick:

The Hart Main Street Board is pleased to announce the hiring of a new manager! Julie Kreilick will be coming on board on July 25th which is a great way to usher in the new Main Street year. Julie brings with her extensive experience with the Main Street Program in Fremont, Ohio, including economic development and retail recruitment. She also has twenty-five years’ experience as a successful business owner in downtown Fremont. But best of all, she brings with her an absolute love of community! “I am very excited to join the Hart Main Street Program to continue with the great work that has been done to revitalize downtown Hart,” Ms. Kreilick said. “I also look for ward to bringing new ideas, energy, enthusiasm, and growth to Hart as we work together building community! I look for ward to meeting you!” She and her husband have recently purchased a home in the Pentwater area after being away from Oceana County for more than 30 years and they look for ward to being near family and renewing friendships, as well as, making new friends. HMS Board Chair Anne Hardy commented, “I would like to say that finding a Hart Main Street Manager was an interesting project. We were very lucky to receive the caliber of persons interested in the position. Ms. Kreilick was offered the Hart Main Street Manager position following the interviews by the HMS Executive Committee because of her experience as a well rounded small business owner, her familiarity with the Main Street approach, and her previous involvement in city government. She also has a friendly personality, high energy and a ver y positive attitude. The Har t Main Street Board is very excited to see the momentum she will bring to the Hart Main Street Program.” Please join us in welcoming Ms. Julie Kreilick to her new home and her new community!
