The Pennsylvania Avenue Main Street Program is a community-based commercial revitalization project of Baltimore Main Streets which provides customized support and public resources to designated neighborhood business districts. The Pennsylvania Avenue corridor is now an ambitious redevelopment that will recall the vibrancy of commerce and culture from its heyday while demonstrating the resilience of the corridor communities.  The communities surrounding the corridor have been a hub and a home to some of Baltimore’s greatest creative minds and will be once again.  

To make all of that happen, the Historic Pennsylvania Avenue Main Street Program works with dedicated volunteers, interns, fellows, and staff to implement the four-point approach that has transformed Main Streets across the country.  Pennsylvania Avenue Main Street will use the catalytic strategies of design, economic vitality, promotion, and organization to transform the corridor. In the process, we will leverage our cultural and architectural assets to build a sustainable and full-featured community to preserve a legacy for future generations.
