Main Street Program
The National Trust's National Main Street Center offers a comprehensive strategy to commercial district revitalization that has been widely successful in many towns and cities throughout the country. Highlandtown
won Main Street status in November 2003, and follows the national Four Point Approach, forming Organizational, Promotion, Design and Economic Restructuring committees which are staffed and run by community members. The Main Street program is successful because it is comprehensive and incremental, mobilizing the community's resources - its people - to create change and develop assets based on the neighborhoods uniquenesses, emphasizing quality while building partnerships in public and private sectors.
