Sykesville Nominated for National 'Main Street Matters' Painting Contest

Main Street Sykesville could have a colorful year if the town receives enough votes in a national Main Street revitalization contest.

Benjamin Moore has committed to repainting 20 main streets. All projects will be completed over the next year, according to the company website.
