After 34 years as a successful program of the National Trust for Historic Preservation in the United States, the NMSC was launched as an independent subsidiary of the National Trust on July 1, 2013. This transition enabled NMSC to build on its three decade record of success and take advantage of new opportunities to teach and promote historic preservation-based community revitalization. As a nonprofit organization, NMSC provides information, offers technical assistance, holds conferences and workshops, and conducts research and advocacy on critical revitalization issues. The proven Main Street Four-Point Approach provides a framework for communities to organize themselves for success, improve the design of their neighborhoods, promote their districts, and enhance the economic base of a community. From 1980-2013, cumulatively, commercial districts taking part in the NMSC program have spurred the historic rehabilitation of more than 246,000 buildings, and generated $59.6 billion in new investment, with a net gain of more than 502,728 new jobs, and over 115,000 new businesses. Every dollar a community used to support its local NMSC program leverages an average of $18 in new investment, making the Main Street Four-Point Approach one of the most successful economic development strategies in America. These community benefits would not be possible without the training, education, and leadership of the NMSC. |
