Our History

MainStreet de Las Vegas was founded fourteen years ago and has raised almost $2 million to improve our community. A program of the New Mexico Economic Development Department, New Mexico MainStreet works throughout the state to help affiliated local organizations create an economically viable business environment while preserving cultural and historic resources.

The program's core objective is downtown revitalization and redevelopment, and the mission is to develop local capacity to engage people, rebuild places and revitalize economies resulting in economically thriving downtowns, greater business and employment opportunities and a higher quality of life.
