ABOUT · THE MAIN STREET APPROACH

Preserving Place. Creating Possibility.

CPMSA’s work reflects the Main Street approach to locally driven economic vitality and historic-district revitalization.

Our Community Transformation Priorities

Community & Foundation Building

Strengthen board leadership, communications, partnerships, and sustainable participation.

Business Growth & Activation

Support existing businesses, attract visitors and entrepreneurs, and improve downtown commercial activity.

Placemaking & Visitor Experience

Celebrate the district’s identity through preservation, storytelling, welcoming spaces, and events.

These priorities are drawn from CPMSA’s 2025 Downtown Strategic Planning Work Session.

The National Main Street Framework

As a nationally Accredited Main Street America organization and Georgia Classic Main Street program, CPMSA works within the Four Point Main Street framework: Economic Vitality, Design, Promotion and Organization. These connected areas support our locally adopted transformation priorities.
