Our Main Street SC team recently spent time in South Carolina’s 3rd oldest city -- Georgetown -- with Main Street Georgetown SC's Al Joseph. We explored the legacy businesses and new businesses in the Waterfront District. 👣 🛺

We recently brought our Main Street SC managers together for our monthly virtual Coffee Break and it was a great reminder that sometimes the best ideas come from simply making time to connect.

Our managers shared updates, ideas, challenges, successes, and plenty of encouragement with one another.

These connections are what make the Main Street SC network so valuable. We may work in different communities, but we’re all working toward the same goal: creating vibrant, welcoming, and thriving downtowns.

Thanks to everyone joined us! ❤️

❓ What does preservation have to do with downtown revitalization? More than you might think.

Historic buildings. Local stories. Downtown character. They are all assets & knowing how to use them is an important part of the work.

That’s why Main Street SC, in partnership with Hannah Davis of Downtown Florence, created Historic Preservation: A Main Street Leader’s Guide.

Inside:
→ Why preservation matters to downtown revitalization
→ How it connects to economic development
→ Questions to help identify opportunities
→ Workbook-style pages to help you work through ideas
→ Practical tools and resources
