New Mexico MainStreet announced Monday that Main Street America has designated 32 state organizations for meeting rigorous performance standards.
New Mexico now has 29 accredited (top designation tier) and three affiliated (second designation tier) Main Street America programs.
Corrales MainStreet was one of the 29 top accredited programs.
Main Street America and its partners announce the list of designated programs annually to recognize their exceptional commitment to preservation-based economic development and community revitalization through the Main Street Approach.
“Congratulations to New Mexico’s Main Street America programs for working diligently to improve their communities, support small businesses, and grow the local economy,” said Acting Economic Development Secretary Mark Roper.
NMMS has also been relicensed as a Main Street America Coordinating Program, one of more than 40 national programs committed to creating high-quality places and building strong communities.
“New Mexico MainStreet is proud to support 32 districts with their community economic development and revitalization work. I appreciate the dedication and effort these districts put into improving their communities as well as achieving/maintaining this prestigious Main Street America designation,” said NMMS Director Daniel Gutierrez. “We are incredibly excited to celebrate this year’s 800 accredited and 388 affiliate Main Street America programs and their remarkable efforts to re-energize their local economies and public spaces,” said Main Street America President and CEO Erin Barnes. “Main Street leaders are visionaries that see things that no one else can see and create the future world we all want to live in. The size and impact of our network demonstrates that great things happen when visions are realized through strategic, grassroots collaboration.”
Since 2014, NMMS districts reported 1,630 new businesses & business expansions, 6,011 new jobs, 2,520 private building rehabilitations, $228,377,726 in private sector reinvestment, and 333,270 volunteer hours.
