Fort Valley Main Street seeks to revitalize downtown Fort Valley through economic restructuring, cultural tourism and promotional event planning, in concert with public and private sector partners.

Our Method
The Downtown Development Authority of Fort Valley uses the National Main Street approach for successful downtown revitalization.

  • Leadership within the community to make ideas become realities
  • Organization of efforts to help us all work toward the same goals
  • Technical assistance in Historic Preservation for businesses and homeowners
  • Opportunity to attend annual conferences and seminars on topics relevant to revitalization
  • Tax deductible membership fee
  • Fun, by providing opportunities to work with friends and neighbors for the good of the community
