In June, the city of Georgetown’s Main Street Program received accreditation through the 2017 Main Street America program from the National Main Street Center, a nonprofit subsidiary of the National Trust for Historic Preservation. The annual accreditation program evaluates cities’ commitment to historic preservation as well as economic development and revitalization in their downtown cores. Evaluation criteria measure cities’ success in fostering public-private partnerships, securing operating budgets, tracking progress and preserving historic buildings. In the past decade, Georgetown’s Main Street Program has seen economic reinvestment of $53.5 million in private and public projects, which has brought a net gain of 40 businesses and 320 new jobs, according to the city. 512-930-2707. https://mainstreet.georgetown.org
