Colorado Main Street Communities

From the eastern plains to the western slope, Colorado Main Street communities can be found across the state. While each is unique in size, history, and culture, they share a common element: enthusiastic stakeholders with a strong desire for community revitalization.

Official Main Street communities receive a full range of technical assistance, training, consulting services, mini-grants (ranging from $2,500 to $10,000 annually), and scholarships. The application requires you to have a steering committee or board of directors, volunteers or staff who have reviewed the  Main Street Approach , a dedicated champion to act as a point of contact, a strategic plan, community awareness, and support from the public and private sectors.

Our Aspiring option is a way to express your interest in the program, and is open to all Colorado cities and towns. While this tier receives limited services from DOLA, it does not have any prerequisites or requirements, it does connect you to the Main Street network. Simply complete this  online application  and submit  a letter of interest from the town .

Colorado Main Street provides cities and towns with technical assistance and funding to support vibrant downtowns and enhance local character. Please  contact Colorado Main Street  to explore the program with you and your community.
