We Are Main Street: Partnering with Main Street America

At the Ortonville Downtown Development Authority (DDA), we believe that a strong, vibrant downtown is the heart of a thriving community. That's why we're proud to be part of Main Street America — a national network of programs dedicated to revitalizing and sustaining historic downtowns and traditional commercial districts across the country.

Main Street America brings together over 1,600 communities like ours, from small towns to urban neighborhoods, united by a shared commitment to strengthening local economies, celebrating community character, and creating vibrant places to live, work, and play.

Through our partnership with Main Street America, the Ortonville DDA has access to valuable resources, training, and national best practices that help guide our downtown projects and events. More importantly, this affiliation reinforces what we've always known: our local efforts are part of something bigger.

When you support Downtown Ortonville — by shopping local, attending community events, volunteering, or simply strolling our charming streets — you are part of a national movement to keep Main Streets strong, sustainable, and uniquely connected to their communities.

In the months ahead, we look forward to sharing more stories about the people, places, and projects that make our downtown special. Together, we're not just preserving the past — we're building a bright future.

Thank you for being part of our journey.
We are Main Street.
