The first video - “Engage People” - of the Voices of MainStreet New Mexico has been launched on the New Mexico MainStreet Facebook page. https://www.facebook.com/NMMainStreet/

MainStreet statewide partners speak to the power of MainStreet strategies to implement local projects, through community based economic development. It is why property and business owners, residents and funding partners are coming together to build vibrant downtowns stronger economies.

“MainStreet is a grassroots effort.” Rhona Espinoza, Board Member of the New Mexico Coalition of MainStreet Communities and Executive Director of Belen MainStreet, said. “It is all about people coming together and working toward a common goal of rebuilding places that are important to our collective story. It is incremental, and it takes time, but it is worth it!”

We are the Voices of MainStreet New Mexico!

The New Mexico Coalition of MainStreet Communities is a not-for-profit 501(c)(6) comprised of communities who work with New Mexico MainStreet and the New Mexico Economic Development Department to revitalize historic commercial districts through partnerships. We focus on building relationships that create opportunities in rural and urban downtowns. These videos tell the stories of people in our communities and represent the collective vision and efforts of these partnerships.
