Together We Create…

  • Our Mission
  • Our Vision
  • Our Impact

Downtown Lenoir Main Street Program guides and facilitates connections to resources that create a culture which powers growth Downtown, promotes diversity through engagement, inclusive design and actively showcases the talents of this creative community which lives, works, and prospers in the beauty of a natural environment that inspires artisans, entrepreneurs and attracts the next generations of the creative class.

Powered by people genuinely dedicated 100% to their community, the Downtown Lenoir Main Street Program endeavors to engage and connect all sectors of this diverse and creative community through the Arts, Music, Technology, specialized Trades and Active Living in the Blue Ridge Mountains.

In the past 5 years we have seen more than $14 million reinvested here in our downtown, and we’re not slowing down. This means we’re making an impact on Downtown Lenoir’s economic prosperity and helping entrepreneurs do what they love – but we’re also contributing to creating a great place to live and visit.
