What is the Florida Main Street Program?
Florida Main Street is a program of the Florida Department of State, Division of
Historical Resources, which provides training and technical assistance to local
organizations in support of their efforts to revitalize their traditional downtown and
neighborhood commercial districts based on the Four Point Main Street Approach™
(see page 11).
The Main Street Approach™, was developed by the National Main Street Center of the
National Trust for Historic Preservation, and has been adopted by over 1600 local
revitalization programs nationwide. While concentrating on revitalization of the
community's historic commercial center, these local volunteer-based programs enhance
the economic vitality, quality of life, and civic pride of the whole community while
countering sprawl and encouraging greater citizen participation in the decisions that are
shaping their future.
Since 1985, the Florida Main Street Program has assisted downtown revitalization
efforts in nearly 80 communities across the state.
How Can We Participate in the Florida Main Street Program?
There are now a variety of ways communities may benefit from the programs and
services of the Florida Main Street Program. These levels of program participation-
Designated, Associate, Graduate, Renewing, Florida Certified local Governments. Self-
Initiated and Other Communities - are described below:
Designated Florida Main Street Communities .. This status represents the core
Florida Main Street Program. New Designated Communities and their Local Program
Areas are added to the Florida Main Street network on an annual basis through a
competitive application process. A predetermined number of applicants found to be
qualified and to have scored highly in the established evaluation criteria will be eligible
to receive a full menu of program services (delivered over 36 - 42 months) and to apply
for a Florida Main Street Start-up Grant. Completion and submission of the Florida
Main Street Application is the mechanism for pursuing this program status. After
designation, a memorandum of understanding implements program participation.
Associate Communities - A predetermined number of applicants for designation
which may have scored less well in some of the evaluation criteria during the annual
application cycle but are felt to be at a level of need and commitment that will allow
them to benefit from participation in the Florida Main Street Program will be selected as
Associate Communities. These communities will be eligible for a limited menu of
services (delivered over 9 -12 months) to assist and encourage them in organizing their
pursuit of downtown revitalization. Associate communities will be eligible to compete
again for designation and, if then selected, will receive the remainder of the services
