Street Center, a subsidiary of the National Trust for Historic Preservation. The program launched with 3 local communities and has grown to serve 50+ communities statewide. Main Street Maryland communities represent some of the strongest and most resilient business districts in the state. Housed in the Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development, Main Street is a key program for community development and revitalization in Maryland’s historic downtowns.</p><p>The program strengthens the economic potential of Maryland’s traditional main streets and neighborhoods.
