Greencastle- the Booming Metropolis of Indiana. Run down buildings line the square as students joke about Green- dingle. But wait, Take Another Leek As students returned to Greencastle this fall, many noticed a change in the look of the town. Greencastle began taking part in a Main Street Project several years ago, and the results of this project were especially evident this year. The Main Street Model ' of renovation was developed in the late 1970's by the National Trust for Historic Preservation. Through the efforts of this project, Courthouse Square is now included on the National Register of Historic Places. Several storefronts on the Idi Walla Courthouse Square have been renovated with plans for many others to follow. The construction of the Walden Inn and relocation of the Greencastle Public Library were also part of the Main Street Project. Buildings in the downtown area exhibited beautiful new facades as the antique architecture was restored and painted. Although the closing of IBM temporarily slowed the project's progress, the original completion date, the year 2000, has not been pushed back. The IBM plant, employing 900 Greencastle residents, closed its doors this spring.
