WATERBURY - The Connecticut Main Street Center (CMSC) has selected downtown Waterbury as the newest Connecticut Main Street community. To be accepted into the program, communities must demonstrate that they have broad-based community support for commercial district revitalization, a commitment to Main Street's comprehensive approach to revitalization and a commitment and resources to hire a professional executive director.
Explains Jack Shannahan, chairman of the CMSC Selection Committee, "Waterbury is now ready. They have already demonstrated evidence of widespread community, corporate and municipal support that can add value to the overall revitalization of their historic central business district. A local Main Street program can help coordinate, leverage and add value to what is already happening with new initiatives, a comprehensive work plan and an inclusive approach."
The Connecticut Main Street Center helps cities and towns seeking to comprehensively revitalize their central business districts. Waterbury joins downtown Norwich, Middletown, New London, Niantic, Portland, Rockville, Simsbury, the Upper Albany neighborhood of Hartford, Windsor and Winsted.
