Main Street VB receives Dyer Difference Award

news release

In Indian River County, the January Dyer Difference Award goes to an organization whose focus is to lead and unify downtown businesses and property owners to encourage the continued revitalization and the historic preservation of downtown Vero Beach. By working the Vero Beach officials and administrators, the organization helps to ensure a vital and vibrant downtown. One of the things that draws people to downtown Vero Beach is the monthly Downtown Friday event, a delightful community party hosted at 14th Ave and 21st Street, which attracts up to 5,000 people on the last Friday evening of every month. Helping to bring people together and create a stronger community is a cause the January Dyer Difference Award is proud to support.

The Dyer Difference Award is all about celebrating the beauty and kindness in our midst. For the Dyer family and the members of the Dyer staff, the award and the $6,000 in donations made monthly between the St. Lucie and Indian River Counties are all about helping to make a positive difference in the community. For the recipients, it’s an acknowledgement of their tireless efforts to do the same and a much-needed financial boost to help further their missions.
