Every community has a unique story, many of which unfold in the heart of downtown districts. Explore these thriving main streets across our state’s villages and cities, and you’ll discover unexpected treasures. Vibrant community centers play a crucial role in workforce development. 

Through North Dakota’s Main Street Initiative, community leaders gain direct access to tools and resources that help them build on their community’s strengths and make strategic planning decisions. These initiatives foster vibrant communities that attract and retain the skilled workforce North Dakota needs to thrive in the 21st-century global economy.
