Map of each Main Street District:
As the Orlando Main Streets continue to grow and expand, the City of Orlando recognizes the need to define designated target areas for each district in order to better execute public improvement projects such as district banners and the painting of utility boxes and storm drains. As such, new clauses have been added to each district’s agreement stating that while target areas will not be used to dictate business memberships, they will be defined to assist in the execution of public improvement projects.

Orlando Main Streets was implemented in 2008 as an initiative to revitalize Orlando’s neighborhood business districts. Main Street is a national program that assists business districts with developing the necessary market niche and creating a cohesive visual identity unique to the district. The Main Street Approach gradually builds on existing resources and fosters improved community leadership and support on behalf of the business district for the long term. The districts are also required to have a full-time director.
