There are two paths to becoming an Ohio Main Street Community.
DART Visit
The first is to request and complete a Downtown Area Resource Team Visit (DART). This comprehensive analysis of your downtown is completed by our professional staff. Once completed, your community is automatically enrolled as an Aspiring Main Street Community for one year. Read more about how a DART Visit could benefit your community.
Aspiring Main Street Program
The second is to sign up as a Community Member or Aspiring Main Street Community. We still encourage DART Visits for all communities joining, particularly those with the ambition to become an Affiliate Main Street community.
