Main Street Iowa - Urban Neighborhood Districts
While Main Street Iowa has excelled over the years in the traditional downtowns of designated communities, the department recognized that Urban Neighborhoods have significant commercial development and revitalization needs that could benefit from the program. Urban Commercial Districts have unique differences and may not fit the "traditional" Main Street model, but it is our belief that these same principles and practices can be utilized to develop program value.
Through the support from the Culver/Judge administration, the Urban Neighboroods were accepted into the program in 2009.
