What is a Main Street Program?

Main Street Programs are community-driven revitalization initiatives focused on strengthening the economic, social, and physical aspects of historic commercial districts. They use a comprehensive, proven approach called the Main Street Four-Point Approach, which emphasizes Organization, Promotion, Design, and Economic Vitality. These programs often bring together local stakeholders to preserve historic character, boost local businesses, and enhance downtown areas, making them vibrant places to live, work, and visit.
