Main Street Waterbury |

Main Street Waterbury is a grassroots, community organization for downtown revitalization and historic preservation. Through improving the physical appearance of downtown Waterbury, promoting its architectural and cultural assets, organizing volunteer initiatives, sponsoring events, and fostering public/private partnerships, Main Street Waterbury hopes to economically rejuvenate Waterbury's downtown district without sacrificing its character or heritage. Carl Rosa, director of Main Street Waterbury (203-757-0701 x302), was hired in March 2004 as a full-time advocate for all of downtown Waterbury's interests and to coordinate the many volunteer efforts underway to realize their vision of a vibrant, diverse, pedestrian friendly city center—a true regional destination for everyone. Main Street Waterbury is the eleventh and latest community in Connecticut to participate in the Main Street Program, a statewide, non-profit organization with ties to other Main Street programs nationwide. Utilizing the proven Main Street Four Point Method, which creates volunteer committees for Promotion, Design, Organization, and Economic Restructuring, the Main Street program addresses problems that afflict downtown historic districts from a variety of angles.
