“Our Main Streets tell
us who we are and
who we were, and
how the past has
shaped us.”

Until the second half of the 20th century,
downtowns were vibrant and exciting
places to be – virtually everything you
needed was downtown…..
This had a negative impact on
downtown economies,
ultimately affecting the value
and condition of buildings, the
tax base, jobs and municipal
investment.
