TEXAS MAIN STREET PROGRAM


More than 40 years ago, Texas created a state program operating through the Texas Historical Commission—the Texas Main Street Program (TMSP)—one of the oldest and largest coordinating programs in the nation. 

The mission of the TMSP is to provide technical expertise, resources, and support to Main Street communities in Texas in accordance with the Main Street America's Four Point Approach® of organization, economic vitality, design, and promotion. Using a team-centered approach, the TMSP strives to understand the challenges facing Texas’ 81 designated programs to help each reach their revitalization and preservation goals.
