AUSTIN, Texas-Total reinvestment in Main Street districts in Texas between July 2010 and June 2011 totaled nearly $170 million, including $73 million in private reinvestment dollars. The information is compiled by the Texas Historical Commission (THC) based on data provided by Main Street managers in participating communities across Texas. The program, celebrating its 30th anniversary this year, helps communities implement the Four-Point Approach of preservation-based downtown revitalization which includes organization, promotion, design, and economic restructuring.
In addition to reinvestment dollars, 1,300 jobs were created throughout Texas Main Street communities during that same time, and the number of businesses created, expanded, or relocated totaled 350. More than 700 repair and rehabilitation projects to downtown buildings in Texas Main Street communities were completed, as well as 40 projects worth a total of $26 million in brand new downtown construction. Historic Main Street downtowns experienced the creation of 192 new housing units.
Since its inception in 1981, the Texas Main Street Program has helped generate approximately $2.4 billion in reinvestment in Texas downtowns and urban neighborhood commercial districts, created more than 27,000 jobs, and established more than 7,000 new businesses.
