The Character Main Street

A VISION FOR MAIN STREET: SOCIAL.

Main street has done a lot for America; and more will be asked of it in the coming decades. The main value of downtown, and specifically main street, by mid-century will expand from its civic and commercial purposes to become the primarily social center of the city; main street will save the city by serving as the place that combats isolationism by providing programs, partnerships, places and spaces that promote and enable community sociability.
