Main Street Program

The City of Locust Grove has been a nationally accredited Main Street Community since 2006. The Main Street Program is responsible for the implementation of the Main Street "Four Point Approach" to preserve, promote, and revitalize our historic downtown. The department consists of City staff (organization), the Locust Grove Downtown Development Authority (economic development), Main Street Inc. 501c3 (promotion), and the Historic Preservation Commission (design). Main Street strives toward a historic downtown that is beautiful, economically vibrant, and an enjoyable destination for locals and visitor's alike.

Locust Grove Main Street Inc. 501c3 is primarily responsible for promotions and fundraising through downtown events. Funds raised at promotional events such as Groovin' in the Grove are directly reinvested in our historic downtown through our Façade Grant

program and other beautification projects. The Locust Grove Main Street Inc. 501c3 Board of Directors meets the second Tuesday of each month at 8:30 a.m. in Locust Grove City Hall.
