Main Street Program

April Norton and Madison Eaton with Thomasville Main Street presented information on the programs and impact of the Main Street program. It is estimated we will host 15,000 people each night of the Victorian Christmas this year.

In 2018, 2,003 promotional events were held with 106,753 people attending. This includes the Victorian Christmas, First Friday and Sip and Stroll events. We have netted 19 new businesses opening or expanding creating 130 new jobs. Eighteen building rehabilitation projects were completed at an investment of $1.3 million. Thomasville's Main Street Program has been recognized on the state and national levels as one of the nation's most successful programs.
