Cedar Falls Community Main Street

Cedar Falls Community Main Street

Community Main Street, Inc., was organized in 1987 by citizens concerned about the continuing threats to commercial architecture of Cedar Falls’ central business district and aware of the need to stimulate economic revitalization in downtown.

The foundation of the Community Main Street approach is preservation of the physical environment and of the human resources of the downtown district. A comprehensive four-point approach is the key to CMS’s success. By integrating membership and development, marketing, design, and business retention and expansion into a practical management strategy, the approach produces fundamental change in the downtown’s economic base.

Anyone in the community having and interest in the continuing revitalization of downtown Waterloo is welcome to join a council. Main Street Waterloo has four active councils:

Organization - Main Street Waterloo brings together diverse groups and individuals to work together.

Marketing and Promotions - Main Street promotes the entire downtown area as an exciting city center through special events, retail and image-building activities.

Economic Restructuring - Main Street strives to enhance overall economic vitality by strengthening and diversifying the business base of the downtown area.

Design - Main Street works to improve the visual quality of the downtown area utilizing historic preservation as a basis for good visual appeal, as well as encouraging compatible new developments.

Hundreds of volunteers are needed for our major events. If you don't have the time or desire to serve on a council, Main Street Waterloo is always looking for volunteers for our events.
