A vital downtown is more than just a retail and service center.  Downtown offers a sense of place and community.  Downtown is where people gather to shop, meet friends, and eat a good meal.  Downtown also serves as a gathering place for parades, sporting activities, celebrations and events that bring people in the community together.  Come and see the variety of shops and services that downtown has to offer. Visit some of the historic buildings that have been revitalized. Above all, consider yourself a part of the excitement that is happening downtown.

Emporia Main Street, Inc. is part of the National Main Street Program designed to bring economic revitalization with an emphasis on restoration and preservation of historic shopping and business districts.
