Simply put, Historic Main Street is defined as “economic development within  the context of historic preservation”.  Downtown is the heart of our  community.  We continue to save its historic buildings, revive its  commercial care, strengthen businesses, control eroding sprawl to keep a sense  of place and community life in Alliance.  Our Historic program  is a local non-profit program defined as an organization that offers a comprehensive strategy for our  commercial district revitalization.   Volunteer driven, we are working together to build a sustainable and complete  community revitalization effort.
