Since 1980, Main Street America programs have created economic impact and improved quality of life through the preservation and revitalization of historic downtowns and neighborhood commercial districts across the country. At the 2022 Main Street Now Conference in Richmond, Virginia, held May 16 - 18, we will celebrate the community resilience and reinvestment championed by our Main Street programs through the COVID-19 pandemic and begin envisioning strategic opportunities to strengthen and expand our commercial districts as we emerge into a new economic future. Along with our partners at the Virginia Main Street Program, we look forward to providing educational sessions in three thematic areas, as well as perennial downtown and commercial district management topics guided by the Main Street Approach.
