HERE'S WHY YOU SHOULD SUPPORT MAIN STREET BLYTHEVILLE
For a quarter century now, Main Street Blytheville has been faithful to its charge of enhancing Blytheville’s Downtown Historic District through the preservation of our unique cultural and architectural heritage. The entirety of the downtown district echo the proud heritage of not only ‘what was’ but also ‘what can be,' especially now as we see new merchants and businesses looking at the advantages of locating within a
National Historic District. Advantages that include generous state and federal tax credits, as well as grant and assistance programs, all designed to nurture commerce and a new spirit growth.

Downtowns across the nation have benefited from their embrace of the National Main Street Program. In Arkansas, downtowns that once were near death have been renewed. In communities like El Dorado, Batesville, Newport, Siloam Spring and North Little Rock, downtowns now thrive as a center of commerce and culture. A thriving downtown does so much for the heart, soul, and character of a community.
