Main Street New Jersey

The MSNJ Program is a Coordinating Program of Main Street America™, which is a subsidiary of the National Trust for Historic Preservation. The Main Street America approach is to help downtown districts develop a transformation strategy around four main points – economic vitality, design, promotion, and organization – that is unique to their community and based on local and regional market data. Main Street empowers Fair Lawn and its diverse business community by offering a road-map for locally- owned/locally-driven prosperity. Across the country, thousands of communities have used the Main Street Approach to transform their economies, leverage local leadership, and improve overall quality of life.
