DC Main Streets provides five years of comprehensive technical and financial assistance to revitalize older neighborhood business districts.
Local Main Street programs are competitively selected to support retail investment in the District. Each selected neighborhood business district is organized by local volunteers and community development professionals.
The DC Main Streets initiative is based on the nationally proven model developed by the National Trust for Historic Preservation, which uses a four point practical neighborhood business district management strategy:
Organization
- build a framework that is represented by businesses and property owners, citizens, public officials, and other local economic development organizations.
Promotion
- create excitement in commercial districts.
Design
- enhance the attractiveness of the business district, including the perception that it is a clean and safe place.
Economic Restructuring
- analyze current market forces to develop long-term solutions.
For more information please contact the main street listed below or the office of reSTORE DC at www.restore.dc.gov or (202) 727-5208.
