Welcome

 
Thank you for participating in our annual National Main Street Survey. As you will see, this survey is about more than trends. This year, we are also asking you about the National Trust Main Street Center itself; what services and activities you value; and what future directions we might take. Your opinions have never been more important, and will make a crucial difference in our planning efforts!

This survey is divided in to three sections - Main Street manager salary and benefits, Main Street trends, the future direction of the national Main Street movement.

It is critical that you give us your input on the national Main Street program that has brought tremendous value to communities across America over the past 30 years, through our Main Street Approach and network of more than 1,200 communities. With changes in the direction of the National Trust for Historic Preservation to focus our work more directly on key “National Treasures” projects in coming years, we will be collaborating with our Main Street Network partners, funders, and industry leaders to explore the full range of options for the program’s future. We want to ensure that we preserve the most important aspects of the Main Street program currently, while identifying new roles and resources for our national program moving forward. This is your chance to have input in the process.

The survey should take 20-25 minutes to complete.
