Wyoming Main Street Program Track System

Some Wyoming commercial districts actively pursue the prestigious designation of a Certified Wyoming Main Street Program. A Certified Main Street Program must meet stringent criteria set forth by Wyoming Main Street as well as complete an application and pass an on-site assessment conducted by the state program.

However, Wyoming Main Street recognizes the wide diversity of communities throughout the state. Not every city, town or neighborhood engaged in revitalization is ready to pursue full Main Street certification.

In order to minimize local costs, effectively reach the entire spectrum of communities, and efficiently distribute technical assistance and resources, Wyoming Main Street offers three “tiers” of connection with the State program:

Certified Main Street Programs
Affiliate Community Programs

Each tier offers differing levels of support and assistance from the State program, according to the varied resources and needs of each individual community. For further explanation of the program requirements and Technical Assistance benefits associated with each tier, please see the Wyoming Main Street Program Guidelines and the Technical Assistance Menu of Services.
