Homestead Main Street

The National Main Street Program was initiated in 1977 by the National Trust for Historic Preservation. Currently, Main Street is a nationwide program committed to downtown revitalization in more than 1,600 communities. In Florida, more than 50 communities are active in the Florida Main Street Program.

The Main Street approach advocates a return to community self-reliance and emphasizes the downtown district’s traditional assets of personal service, local ownership, unique architecture, and sense of community. The program integrates four organizational functions into a “Four-Point Approach” and establishes a practical revitalization strategy to produce fundamental and lasting improvements to Homestead’s economic base.
