Celebrating Connecticut communities, individuals & organizations for their outstanding contributions to Main Street.
Individuals and organizations around the state work tirelessly to revitalize their downtowns and create places that attract residents, visitors, businesses and more. Our Awards of Excellence was created to celebrate their enormously effective and impactful work.
For nearly 20 years, CMSC annually selected best practices and noteworthy projects from throughout the state to be recognized for their impact on Connecticut’s downtowns and Main Streets. These awards were discontinued during the Covid pandemic, but the work and impact of our winners remains. Click the link below to view past award winners.
