About
The National Trust for Historic Preservation developed the Main Street Program in 1980 as a response to the economic decline of downtown areas as people and business moved from these areas with improved transportation options. There are currently over 1600 Main Street Programs nationally where public and private sector groups have come together to address these issues and actively work to reverse the trend.
The Main Street Approach®, a coordinated initiative for community revitalization, has a goal of economic improvement within the context of historic preservation. The foundation of this effort is embodied in Main Street's four point approach.
