The Nevada Governor’s Office of Economic Development (GOED) has announced that its Nevada Main Street program will distribute $425,517 in grant funding to 31 projects across the state. The funds will support initiatives from 20 Main Street organizations, aiming to revitalize downtown areas in both urban and rural communities.
Governor Joe Lombardo commented on the significance of the program, stating, “The Nevada Main Street program delivers critical funding that helps keep our communities vibrant and economically strong. By supporting these projects, we are fostering Nevada’s future and creating broad economic opportunities across the state.”
Shari Davis, GOED’s director of rural economic and community development, highlighted the impact of ongoing support for the program. “Thanks to continued funding and support from the governor and legislature, GOED and the Main Street program are making positive changes throughout Nevada’s communities,” she said. “Nevada Main Street investments help small businesses grow, restore historic spaces, and create welcoming places where people want to gather. When our Main Streets thrive, the entire community thrives. This support is strengthening local pride, boosting economic activity, and ensuring our Nevada downtowns remain vibrant destinations for generations to come.”
The Nevada Main Street program takes a comprehensive approach to downtown revitalization by supporting small businesses, restoring historic buildings, and enhancing public spaces.
GOED was established in 2011 through collaboration between the Nevada Legislature and the Governor’s Office. Its mission is to promote economic growth in Nevada by encouraging business expansion, entrepreneurship, new business attraction, and community development.
