Main Street is an initiative of the National Trust for Historic Preservation that provides a community-driven methodology to revitalize older business districts.
Nob Hill Main Street is a locally created and controlled effort to use the tools that Main Street provides to foster actions that result in a future that benefits residents, merchants, property owners, and our entire community. Some of its long term goals are:
-Brand and promote Nob Hill on local and regional levels to make it a destination for residents and visitors. Create recurring events and special events that make Nob Hill a great place to live, work, and visit.
-Enhance the quality and function of the business district by developing long term solutions to infrastructure needs like parking and transportation, pedestrian safety, and walkability.
-Help merchants and property owners enhance the business district by preserving its unique architectural character and repurposing vacant or underutilized space.
-Make Nob Hill a sustainable community of significant economic, historic, and social value to the city and state.
