Main Streets are at the heart of our communities and local economies. The Main Street Revitalization Planning grant provides funding to local governments to complete downtown revitalization planning that results in community wide vision for the downtown and action plan that identifies policies, programs, and capital improvements that achieve the community’s vision.

 
Although the focus of NDIT programs is economic development, programs can also support community goals related to clean energy and adaptation.
