Vancouver’s Downtown Association Earns National Accreditation from Main Street America!
We’ve got big news to share! Vancouver’s Downtown Association is now an Accredited Main Street Program through Main Street America!
This designation marks a major milestone in our journey to strengthen, preserve, and champion the heart of our city. Since 2005, VDA has been proudly affiliated with Main Street America through our “Designated” status with Washington Main Street. After years of dedication and steady growth, we’ve reached a new level of excellence with full national accreditation.
What does this mean for Downtown Vancouver?
Being recognized as an Accredited Main Street Program affirms the impact of our work and brings powerful new opportunities to the table, including:
- Expanded grant opportunities
- Increased credibility and recognition
- Access to exclusive training and resources
- Stronger connections with peer communities across the country
- Greater visibility at both the state and national levels
This honor reflects the strength of our partnerships and the dedication of our supporters, members, volunteers, and Board of Directors. We’re especially grateful to our board for their leadership!
Main Street America leads a movement to revitalize older and historic downtowns and neighborhood commercial districts, helping communities like ours thrive economically, culturally, and socially. We’re proud to be part of this network and excited to bring even more value to downtown Vancouver in the years ahead.
Thank you, Vancouver, for believing in the power of Main Street. We’re just getting started.
