List of Main Street Programs in the United States
![]() | This article reads like a directory. (September 2018) |
Main Street Programs aim to revitalize downtowns and commercial districts through preservation-based economic development and community revitalization. The ""[1] was begun in 1977 with a pilot involving 3 towns: Galesburg, Illinois; Madison, Indiana; and Hot Springs, South Dakota.[2] Based on the success in those three towns, a pilot project followed in six states: Texas, Colorado, Georgia, Massachusetts, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania.[3]
Since then, the program has been expanded to many other towns. These may be statewide or regional "coordinating programs" or "local programs." Programs determined to be "Designated" follow best-practices established by the National Main Street Center and/or statewide or regional coordinating programs.[4] One requirement of being a "Designated" program is to appoint a full-time staff member, often called a main street manager. In 2020, there were 860 Nationally Accredited Main Street America programs and 44 Coordinating Programs.[5]

Joining them a few years latter were Libby, STevensville, Butte, and Livingston to bring the total up to seven.[57] In 2013 Governor Steve Bullock brought together the Community Development Division of the Montana Office of Tourism and the Montana Department of Commerce in a new effort to help revitalize historic downtowns in Montana, after the Montana Main Street Program had been cut in the 2013 Legislative Session. At the time twenty-one communities were participating in the program.[58]

South Carolina[]
The South Carolina Downtown Development Association was formed as a private, nonprofit organization in 1984. Five of the original towns in the South Carolina Main Street Program named in 1984 were Sumter, Chester, Union, Lancaster, and Georgetown.[68] In 1985 they were joined by five more towns: Clinton, Beaufort, Gaffney, Greer, and Seneca.[69] Another five cities were named to the program in 1986: Anderson, Bennettsville, Camden, Conway, and Darlington.[70] A call went out in 1999 for "1,000 Friends of South Carolina" to support the ongoing work of the South Carolina Downtown Development Association. That call for supporters reflected on the effectiveness of a grassroots approach to achieve community revitalization over the past 16 years.[71]

South Dakota[]
One of the three original "Main Street Project" communities was in Hot Springs, South Dakota, from 1977-1979. As of 2021, however, there are no Main Street America designated programs in South Dakota, nor is there an active state coordinating program. Of the downtowns in South Dakota some follow the Main Street Approach, while others are a downtown association or chamber of commerce format.[74]
Non-Designated Communities
- Aberdeen, Aberdeen Downtown Association
- Brookings, Downtown Brookings
- Dell Rapids, Dell Rapids Chamber of Commerce
- Deadwood, Deadwood Chamber of Commerce. Deadwood was one of the earliest communities to receive funding from the National Trust Historic Preservation in support of commercial district revitalization. As a precursor to the Main Street Program, in April 1974 architect Steven Stoltz, of the firm Steffan and Stoltz in Iowa, presented architectural drawings of buildings on Main Street with directions of what would be needed to restore each one. The state provided $15,250 and National Trust another $1,000.[75]

Texas[]
After the "Main Street Project" concluded in 1979, Texas one was one of the first six states selected for establishment of a statewide coordinating program. Texas Main Street was established under the Texas Historical Commission and based in Austin, Texas.[78] In 1981, Seguin received a "Resource Team" that spent a week with business and civic leaders, bankers, elected officials, and the newly appointed Main Street Manager. Over the next 3 years plans to rehab several building were aided by a low-interest loan pool established by local banks.[79] Anice Read led the program from the start until she retired in 1996.[80] As of 2021, Debra Drescher leads a 9-person staff serving 88 communities.[81]
