The National Main Street Center

Article Abstract:

The National Trust for Historic Preservation established the National Main Street Center (NMSC) in 1980 to help revitalize communities. Since then, the NMSC has become one of the most successful economic development plans with ongoing programs in over 1,100 cities and towns. Its success is attributed to its four-step development strategy involving design, organization, promotion and economic restructuring.
