Florida Secretary of State Laurel M. Lee announced January 18, 2022 as this year’s Florida Main Street Day. Since 2020, the Florida Main Street program has organized Florida Main Street Day to raise awareness of local, statewide, and national Main Street programs.
Developed in the late 1970s by the National Trust for Historic Preservation, the Main Street program works to revitalize historic downtowns and neighborhood commercial corridors by encouraging economic development within the context of historic preservation.
Since 1985, Florida Main Street has worked with more than 100 communities to rejuvenate Florida’s downtowns – the community’s heart and soul. Currently, Florida Main Street oversees 54 participating communities, including Venice MainStreet.
