So what is a "Main Street" designation anyway?

In the past, the word "Downtown" brought to mind an image of bustling centers of commerce and activity. Too often today, the image is of vacant, deteriorating buildings. Now cities are discovering that with help from Florida Main Street, downtowns can thrive again.

A healthy downtown creates jobs & opportunities. The National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 mandates that every State Historic Preservation Office provide technical assistance to local governments, organizations and individuals. The Main Street Program is one of the most important methods by which this agency meets this requirement.

There are many reasons for a community to actively encourage the revitalization of the downtown. An economically healthy downtown:

• Builds a positive image for the community.
• Reflects a community's confidence in itself and its future.
• Creates job opportunities.
• Attracts new industry and strengthens service and retail job markets.
• Saves tax dollars.
• Stabilizes and improves the area's tax base, and protects the investment already made in downtown infrastructure.
• Preserves the community's historic resources.
• Enables property owners to maintain historic commercial buildings and preserve an important part of the community's heritage.
