As a Main Street America Affiliate™️, Heart of Ellsworth is part of a national network of more than 1,200 neighborhoods and communities that share both a commitment to creating high-quality places and to building stronger communities through preservation-based economic development. Locally, Maine is home to ten Main Street communities organised by the Maine Downtown Center. MDC is the state coordinator for the National Main Street Center’s Main Street America program. There are currently ten communities in Maine which have received national accreditation from Main Street America and are designated ‘Main Street Maine member’.
In 2024, we are applying to become a Main Street America community. This new accreditation will bring more Main St America benefits to the Downtown district. To learn more, follow us on social media or subscribe to our newsletter.
