Main Street Skowhegan is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit focused on the ongoing revitalization of Skowhegan, Maine. Founded in 2005 by a group of engaged citizens, Main Street is now driven by six full-time staff, eight AmeriCorps members, a passionate board of directors, and more than a hundred volunteers working to make our town a better place.
Our Mission
Our mission is to celebrate Skowhegan’s rich heritage while achieving our brightest future as a thriving economic, cultural, and recreational community where residents enjoy a high quality of life.
Our Vision
This is our vision for the future of Skowhegan: A destination for visitors from Maine and beyond, Skowhegan is known for its locally sourced food, beautiful and active riverfront, and vibrant cultural scene. The economy is strong and diverse, and residents are happy and healthy. Skowhegan is a place community members are proud of, youth choose to stay or return to, and visitors never want to leave.
The Main Street Movement
In the 1980s, the National Main Street Center of the National Trust for Historic Preservation developed one of the most successful models for place-based economic development. It has since become a nationwide network. We are one of 11 nationally accredited Main Street Communities in the state of Maine.
