Our Mission

Main Street Wilmington’s mission is to promote historic preservation and economic development with the goal of maintaining a cultural downtown district that attracts entrepreneurs and retains businesses, serving as a vital hub for housing, shopping, dining, and entertainment.

What is Main Street?

The Ohio Main Street Program, administered by Heritage Ohio, works with communities across the state to revitalize their historic or traditional commercial areas. Based in historic preservation, the Main Street approach was developed by the National Trust for Historic Preservation to save historic commercial architecture and the fabric of American communities’ built environment, but has become a powerful economic development tool as well.

The Main Street historic district encompasses not only Main Street itself, but Locust Street from Swindler and Sons at Wood Street to Grant Street, and Sugartree Street from South Wood Street to Grant Street, at the Shoppes at the Old Mill.
