Park City’s downtown is one of seven to join the Utah Main Street program this year. The program provides a framework and resources to support member communities’ downtown revitalization efforts and requires them to commit to Main Street America’s Four-Point Approach to downtown revitaliz ation, which focuses on organization, promotion, design and economic vitality. The new Tier 1 Promising Communities are Park City, Tremonton, Smithfield, Bountiful, Midway, Milford and Midvale. “We are thrilled to welcome these seven unique rural and urban Main Street districts into the Utah Main Street network,” said Chelsea Gauthier, program manager of Utah Main Street. “Each of these seven districts brings a distinct story and cultural identity to our state. We are excited to support them as they implement the Main Street Four-Point Approach. In joining our statewide network of 29 communities, they are taking a vital step toward preservation-based economic revitalization that will sustain their downtowns for generations.” The organization said the announcement follows a “landmark year of growth” for the state’s downtown program, which provides hands-on training, technical assistance and tailored funding opportunities to help local districts thrive. Utah Main Street recently celebrated the first state and nationally accredited community designation with Logan Downtown Alliance. Utah Main Street is a coordinating program of Main Street America, a program that has been helping revitalize older and historic commercial districts for over 35 years.
