## Resource

Berlin’s downtown is getting a major upgrade with a $50,500 grant boost—$34,000 from Maryland Housing and $16,500 from the State Arts Council—to supercharge its lively street scene and popular events. While past grants funded fun stuff like petting zoos, Oktoberfest, and benches, this year’s funding aims to tackle the big crowd complaints: lack of space and parking chaos. A new bike taxi shuttle plan is already in the works for fall to whisk visitors from West Street and Tripoli Street parking lots right into the heart of the action. The Main Street Arts and Entertainment Advisory Board will decide how to best spend the cash—ensuring every dollar maximizes joy for locals and tourists alike.
