Welcome to MainStreet Wilmington!

Main Street Wilmington is a nonprofit partnership created to improve the central business district of Wilmington, Delaware using the Main Street “Four Point Approach”.

Main Street Wilmington was spearheaded in 2006 by Wilmington Mayor James Baker as a partnership between Downtown Visions, Wilmington Renaissance Corporation, the Downtown Business Association, the City's Office of Economic Development and Wilmington City Council.
Since the initial “Steering Committee” meetings Main Street Wilmington has grown to include a board of directors and four volunteer driven committees with participation from a variety of stakeholders in the downtown and has been recognized as a National Main Street program for meeting the ten standards of performance set forth by the National Trust for Historic Preservation.
