Who We Are

At our core, we’re teachers and tireless cheerleaders for Connecticut’s downtowns and Main Streets. Recognizing our downtowns serve as the social and economic heart of our communities, we help others understand the significant impact thriving Main Streets have on our towns and cities. At the local level, we work with our members – dedicated stakeholders including city employees, business owners and even volunteers – to help them cultivate the six core components needed to craft an inviting, vibrant downtown. At the state level, we advocate for programs and policies that advance the Main Street way of life.
