5. The Main Street Model
Over the past 35 years, the National Main Street Center
has led the development of a national network of over
2,000 historic downtowns and neighborhood commercial
districts: Main Street America. The people who make up
Main Street America are passionate advocates, dedicated
volunteers, influential stakeholders, and community
organizers who work every day to turn the tide in their
communities — catalyzing reinvestment, creating jobs,
and fostering pride of place.

Boston Main Streets
In 1995, Boston challenged the National Trust for Historic
Preservation to expand its National Main Street model.
The result was Boston Main Streets, the first urban, multi-
district Main Street program in the United States. Boston
Main Streets now brings the technical knowledge of
business district revitalization to twenty Boston business
districts, including six in Dorchester (Bowdoin Geneva,
Fields Corner, Four Corners, Greater Ashmont, Grove Hall,
and Uphams Corner).

6. Each district receives financial and technical assistance
and intensive training in the Main Street approach from
the City of Boston Main Streets office and the National
Main Street Center. In turn, each Main Street organization
hires a full time Executive Director, raises matching funds,
and implements its programs according to an annual
work plan.
Boston Main Streets districts follow a four-point
comprehensive approach that creates and sustains the
district's image: 1) community organization, 2) promotion,
3) design and 4) economic vitality. Specific Main Street
activities and operations include storefront improvement
grants, public enhancements, local promotional and fund-
raising events such as road races, parades, auctions,
multi-cultural festivals, and holiday shopping events, all of
which strategically aim to enhance the image of the
business district and attract consumers. Using the Main
Street four-point approach, district staff and volunteers
draw upon the skills and experience of the local
stakeholders to revitalize the district.
The City of Boston commits a significant portion of its
federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
funds to the Boston Main Streets program. In addition,
the City of Boston commits full-time staff to assist the
local districts in many aspects of their programs. Local
districts also have access to city architects, design staff,
transportation planners, and technical assistance
specialists, and design assistance from local architecture
firms in the form of Design Hours under a contract
administered by the City. Boston Main Streets also
provides workshops and trainings to Main Street staff and
volunteers.

7. Qualitatively, the overall goal of the Boston Main Streets
program is to improve the quality of life in Boston's
neighborhoods. The vitality of a neighborhood's business
district is critical to the health of the neighborhood as a
whole and for that reason all sectors of the community
are involved with each Main Street organization.
Stakeholders include residents, business and property
owners, public and private institutions, community
development corporations, and merchant associations.
