Rochester Main Street is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that operates through the guidance of a volunteer-based Board of Directors who set the policies and procedures for the program. We are also a member of the National Main Street Program through a branch of the National Trust for Historic Preservation. Consider getting involved, becoming a volunteer, or making a donation to support this effort.
Our District
The Rochester Main Street Board of Directors remains committed to enhancing the efficiency and impact of our organization within the downtown area. Keeping this in mind we voted to refine our district in April of 2025. These new boundaries allow us to concentrate our efforts more effectively. While we will continue to support and advocate for initiatives throughout the broader downtown community, our primary focus and projects will be centered within the newly defined district.
