Our Mission and Vision
Mission
The mission of Newton Main Street is to preserve the history, invest in the future, and develop pride in our downtown district through community involvement, volunteerism, and private-public partnerships within the Main Street district, the heart of Newton.
Vision
The Main Street District is where history meets hometown charm—a 90 acre walkable, lively space full of unique shops, eats and events. It’s where our community and visitors come together to live, work, and celebrate. With revitalized design, strong leadership, and a spirit of entrepreneurship, we’re building a District that’s distinctly Newton.
Main Street Iowa
The Main Street Iowa program works with a select group of communities committed to exceptionally high standards for downtown economic development. As a Main Street America(TM) Coordinating Program, the over 50 communities in Iowa are connected to a network of 40 programs across the country representing over 1,200 communities.
Main Street America
Main Street America has been helping revitalize older and historic commercial districts for more than 35 years. Today it is a network of more than 1,600 neighborhoods and communities, rural and urban, who share both a commitment to place and to building stronger communities through preservation-based economic development.
