Chamber Membership in
Nebraska Main Street Program
By: Josie Stauffer
Early this year, the chamber in partnership with the city of
Milford became a member of the Nebraska Main Street program.
Nebraska Main Street "was established in 2013 as a non-profit to
serve as the state coordinator for Nebraska’s nationally accredited
statewide Main Street program. The Main Street program is a
national model designed to educate communities about place
based downtown revitalization using historic preservation as the
basis. Better educated communities bring jobs, investment, and
people to small towns and commercial districts. Local Main Street
programs leverage their own private investment and capitalize on
the unique appeal of traditional commercial business districts. The
result is one of the most successful economic revitalization
strategies in the country. The Nebraska Main Street Network is
dedicated to coordinating resources and providing education to
communities across the state so they have the knowledge and skills
to revitalize their traditional commercial business districts."
The chamber has plans to work with Nebraska Main Street to
further develop their vision for serving the community and
promoting its economic growth. It plans to use the Main Street
membership to provide expanded education opportunities for
Milford business leaders while building a solid business retention
and expansion plan for the health and continued growth of the
community.
Through continued efforts in the Main Street program and further
identification of solid resources, the chamber will remain
persistent in its effort to support the local economy and
community as a whole. For more information on the Nebraska Main Street program, visit
