Preservation is about more than saving old buildings — it’s about sustaining vibrant communities.
Maryland’s historic downtowns and Main Streets are the heart of local life and economic vitality, using their unique character to attract residents, visitors, and businesses alike. Through the Assistance on Main Street initiative, Preservation Maryland provides targeted technical guidance and direct grant funding to help these communities plan, preserve, and prosper. From storefront improvements to strategic planning and special events, the program equips Main Street leaders with the tools they need to keep Maryland’s historic cores thriving across the Old Line State.
