Downtown Spruce Pine
A Main Street Community
Our Mission is to enhance downtown Spruce Pine by fostering economic growth, preserving our unique heritage, and enriching community life through collaborative efforts and innovation.
Main Street Four-Point Approach
The Main Street Four-Point Approach is a comprehensive revitalization process designed to improve all aspects of downtown, producing both intangible and tangible benefits. Through community collaboration and these four goals, we created our Mission.
About Main Street America
In 1980, the National Trust created the National Trust Main Street Center to share lessons learned in a pilot program based on their downtown revitalization process, The Main Street Four Point Approach. For the next three years, the National Trust Main Street Center conducted a national demonstration in six states, including North Carolina, encouraging the creative use of business and government resources to support local revitalization initiatives.
Since completing the demonstration, the National Trust Main Street Center has seen the Main Street network grow to include 46 states and more than 1,400 active communities nationally.
