Main Street Programs (various states)

Main Street Programs are community-led initiatives aimed at revitalizing and strengthening downtown areas and historic districts. They focus on economic development, preservation, and improving quality of life by supporting local businesses, restoring historic buildings, and fostering community engagement. While each state manages its own program with specific strategies, the core goal is to promote vibrant, sustainable, and attractive downtowns that serve as hubs for commerce and community identity. These programs often involve partnerships among government, business leaders, and residents to ensure long-term vitality of the local area.
