Information about San Pedro MainStreet.

Revitalize San Pedro

Councilor Fiebelkorn is proud to support the Revitalize San Pedro Project, which is seeking Main Street designation for San Pedro and working to improve the shopping and pedestrian/biking experience in that corridor. Councilor Fiebelkorn has provided a council directed sponsorship to support this important economic development work in our community.

Background and Goals

• Property value increase
• Increase customer traffic
• Crime reduction
• Create district identity and neighborhood cohesion
• Create a walkable, pedestrian friendly environment

The Main Street Movement

As a Main Street America program, the San Pedro Corridor would be joining a network of small towns, mid-sized communities, urban commercial districts, thousands of organizations, individuals, volunteers, local leaders, and businesses working together to breathe new life into the places people call HOME.

New Mexico MainStreet provides a variety of FREE technical assistance, service and supports to its 30MainStreet programs and their businesses throughout the state, as well as funding when available. These extensive resources would be available to the San Pedro Corridor as well, if it completes the Main Street designation process.

A Movement of Community Changemakers

Main Street empowers communities to set their own destinies. While revitalization is challenging work, the Main Street program offers a road-map for locally-owned, locally-driven prosperity. Across the country, thousands of communities have used the Main Street Approach to transform their economies, leverage local leadership, and improve overall quality of life.
