The Main Street Four Point Approach® was conceived in 1977 by the National
Trust for Historic Preservation in Washington, D.C., and tested in three pilot locations
throughout the United States.
In 1985, the Iowa Legislature adopted the National Main Street Center's approach
to historic commercial district revitalization by approving the establishment of
Main Street Iowa.
The mission of the Main Street Iowa Program is to improve the social and economic
well-being of Iowa's communities by assisting selected communities to capitalize
on the unique identity, assets and character of their historic commercial district.
Main Street is economic development within the context of historic preservation.
