The National Trust Main Street Center has again designated Toccoa as an accredited National Main Street Program for meeting commercial district revitalization performance standards.
"We congratulate Main Street Toccoa’s Program for meeting our established performance standards," says Doug Loescher, director of the National Trust Main Street Center. Main Street Toccoa has been accredited nationally each year since 1999.
"Rebuilding a district’s economic health and maintaining that success requires broad-based community involvement and support, in addition to establishing a solid organization with sound management that is committed to long-term success."
National Trust found that Toccoa is utilizing comprehensive and sustainable revitalization efforts and continues to carry forth their mission, foster strong public-private partnerships, and preserve historic buildings.
Since 1980, the National Trust has helped hundreds of downtowns across the nation reclaim the quality of life that only a thriving community center can provide. Through the Main Street Four-Point Approach to commercial district revitalization, which combines historic preservation and economic development, the Center has forged a nationwide movement for the revival of America’s historic and traditional commercial districts.
The National Trust for Historic Preservation is a non-profit membership organization that helps people protect, enhance, and enjoy the places that matter to them. For more information visit: www.nationaltrust.org
