Amherst Downtown Business

5
The Ohio Main Street program is administered by Heritage Ohio, and has been working with communities across the state of Ohio to revitalize their historic or traditional commercial areas. Based in historic preservation, the Main Street approach was developed by the National Trust for Historic Preservation to save historic ommercial architecture and the fabric of American community-built environments, but has become a powerful economic development tool as well.

The Main Street program is designed to improve all aspects of the downtown business district, producing tangible and intangible benefits. Improving economic management, strengthening public participation, and making downtown a fun place to visit are as critical to Main Street's future as recruiting new businesses, rehabilitating buildings, and expanding parking. Building on downtown's inherent assets - rich architecture, personal service, and traditional values and most of all, a sense of place - the Main Street approach has rekindled entrepreneurship, downtown cooperation and civic concern. It has earned national recognition as a practical strategy appropriately scaled to a community's local resources and conditions. And because it is a locally driven program, all initiative stems from local issues and concerns.
