Can my community become a designated local Main Street program?
Any Kansas community with a population of 50,000 or less may apply to become a designated Kansas Main Street City after attending the annual Kansas Main Street Application Workshop (usually in February). Typically the application will be due in late May and announcement of new cities is always held the first full week of July. Application assistance and review is available from the Kansas Main Street staff. Once a consensus is reached that revitalization is essential for the community, group leaders should contact the Kansas Main Street program who will then go the community to address group leaders and present the basics of downtown revitalization generally and more specifically the Main Street program.
