Our Community
Cairo is a diverse town with an eclectic flair. One of the challenges for the Cairo Development Foundation is to fuse the old with the new. We hope to partner with the Historical Foundation as well as the many artists that make Cairo their home to pay homage to the history of Cairo while, keeping an eye on the future.
Our Vision
The residents of Cairo have become far too used to the old and declining appearance of the Main Street area. The Cairo Development Foundation has been created to help improve the look of Main Street and in turn promote and facilitate the return of business to that area.
​
We envision a thriving business hub with ample parking. The Cairo Development Foundation is currently working on short term and long term plans to effectuate our vision.
