Main Street South Carolina is a technical assistance program that empowers communities as they revitalize their historic downtowns, encouraging economic development and historic preservation. Since 1983, Main Street South Carolina has helped communities build up the business and image of their downtown commercial districts. 

Main Street South Carolina is a Main Street America™ Coordinating Program, consisting of more than 40 Coordinating Programs and 1,200 neighborhoods and communities across the country. In South Carolina, cities like Hartsville, Florence, Cheraw, and Dillon are thriving with the help of Main Street South Carolina.

Main Street is important to our local community because:

  • It creates jobs – A revitalized downtown attracts new industry and strengthens service and retail job markets.
  • It saves tax dollars – Revitalization stabilizes and improves a downtown's tax base while also protecting existing investments.
  • It preserves a community's historic resources – In an economically healthy downtown, property owners maintain their historic buildings and preserve an essential part of their community's heritage and identity.
  • It builds community pride – Main Street provides a public space for community members to come together, create new partnerships and celebrate their downtown.
