What is Main Street?

It's Simple. It's People loving their Place.
The Main Street way is to inspire and engage the property owners, business owners, leaders, friends, and neighbors to create a shared value in the character of the community. Image having people believe that their place matters. That is true community support. That is what Main Street is all about.
