About

The Mission of the Carthage Main Street Program is to implement downtown revitalization under the Main Street Four-Point Approach--Organization, Design, Promotion, and Economic Restructuring, all within the context of historic preservation. The Carthage Main Street Program will strive, along with an organized community effort, to: 

•  Assure quality design of public places and private properties;

• Encourage economic vitality through business retention, recruitment, and development;

• Promote activities that instill community pride and invite visitors.

Vision Statement: The Carthage Main Street Program sees the historical downtown as the hub of the city and the county where social, economic, and civic activities generate a welcoming environment in which local citizens and visitors can enjoy diverse experiences.
