What We Do...
The Downtown Development Commission was originated to carry out
the tasks of the Main Street Program. It is a not for profit,
volunteer commission whose activities and programs are designed to
enhance the economic and cultural vitality of Henderson’s Historic
Central Business District. The Commission does this in various
ways.
The organization is also often involved in seeking legislative and governmental support of bills and budget issues that benefit revitalization efforts and related programs. Incentive Grant Program – The purpose of this program is to encourage exterior renovation and restoration of commercial buildings and surrounding landscapes in Downtown Henderson while preserving their historic features. These grants are available only to tenants or owners of commercial property within the boundaries of the current Main Street Program area. (See map below)
