To preserve and promote downtown Clinton as a community hub while focusing efforts to ensure our downtown remains a major contributor to Clinton's economy by using the Main Street Four-Point Approach.
Since 1989, Clinton Main Street has helped champion improvements that keep downtown welcoming and active, supporting rehabilitation efforts and helping drive façade renovations and placemaking initiatives. Today we continue that legacy by bringing together property owners, entrepreneurs, volunteers, and partners.
The Clinton Square Historic District will be a regional governmental, professional, and retail center and a thriving, diverse shopping, dining, and cultural destination: a visible symbol of community pride and a good place to live, work, visit, shop, and invest.
