Oklahoma Main Street Program
In late 1985, the legislature created the Oklahoma Main Street Program. Housed in the State Department of Commerce, the Main Street program was originally designed as a demonstration program for cities under 50,000 in population. Since 1986, 44 communities have received technical assistance and training in the Main Street approach to downtown revitalization. |
National Main Street Center
Main Street is a revitalization strategy used in more than 1200 cities in over 40 states. It was developed by the National Trust for Historic Preservation, Washington, D.C., in an attempt to encourage the imaginative use of business and government resources to support local downtown revitalization efforts. In 1980, the Trust formed an affiliate non-profit organization, the National Main Street Center (NMSC), to provide consulting and training services to cities and states undertaking Main Street program. |
