Community Profiles

The Main Street revitalization movement has its roots in New York State, where a successful Main Street revitalization program in Corning , New York proved a useful model for other communities to follow. Communities across New York State from Saratoga to New York ’s Times Square, from the Catskill Region to neighborhoods in Buffalo, have spearheaded successful Main Street efforts. New York Main Street Community Profiles provide a concise examination of the process that led to the revitalization of Main Streets throughout New York State, including discussions of how such efforts were sustained, who led the efforts, how such initiatives were financed, and the economic and social benefits of each program. We invite you to explore the Community Profiles to see how other communities in the State have approached their Main Street revitalization efforts.
