Main Street Brenham works to preserve Downtown's beauty and history while making it a welcoming, thriving place to live, work, and play. Fundraising supports these goals, funding projects like the Façade & Sign Reimbursement Grant Program, beautification, and public art that make Downtown the heart of our community.
Main Street America is dedicated to revitalizing and preserving historic downtown business districts throughout the country. It is sponsored by the National Trust for Historic Preservation and, in Texas, the Texas Historical Commission. Together, these programs have produced an investment in these districts of more than $5 billion and spurred the rehabilitation of countless historic structures, while providing space for 27,000 new businesses and creating over 100,000 new jobs for local citizens.
Our Vision
Main Street Brenham's vision is to see continuous revitalization to preserve the unique character of downtown Brenham.
Our Mission
Main Street Brenham's mission is to strengthen and facilitate the economic development of historic downtown for everyone.
The foundation and success of Main Street is based on a cooperative effort between the sponsors and the local government, business owners, and lending institutions within the communities that have joined the program. Since rejoining Main Street in 1999, the City of Brenham has experienced a dynamic improvement in its historic downtown district thanks in part to more than $2.85 million spent to date in reinvestment activities.
