"Georgia Main Street has been synonymous with economic development and community revitalization. Georgia Main Street communities provide the impetus for business recruitment, building renovations, downtown events, tourism, partnerships, residential living, volunteerism, and historic district designation." - Connie Tabor, Toccoa Main Street

The Georgia Main Street Program began in 1980 as one of the original pilot state coordinating programs of the National Main Street Initiative launched by the National Trust for Historic Preservation. The program launched with five local communities and has grown to serve 100+ communities statewide. Georgia Main Streets represent some of the strongest central business districts in the state and in the Southeast.

Main Street of the Month

Uptown Columbus

“Over the past 35 years, Uptown Columbus has undergone a remarkable transformation evolving from a decaying downtown into a bustling, vibrant community. Throughout this journey, the Main Street Approach has provided the framework for comprehensive revitalization and guided our community to recognize, celebrate and promote the authenticity of our downtown. Most notably, the $25M public-private partnership that led to the restoration of the Chattahoochee River brought new life to a historic sector of our downtown, creating economic opportunities, spurring development along the riverfront, increasing tourism, and positively enhancing the identity of our community.”
–Becca Zajac, Uptown Columbus
