Our downtowns and main streets are the centers of our communities, the places where jobs, business and people meet. They are the most financially productive areas of our communities where civic pride runs deep. Homegrown success meets opportunity in our main streets and downtowns.
The Franklin County Economic Development Corporation (FCEDC) is committed to assisting with the resurgence of main streets and downtowns in Franklin County through offering support with technical assistance, funding, strategic planning and placemaking. Downtown revitalization is our business–transforming downtown neighborhoods into vibrant communities where people want to live, work and raise families.

Planning Support
Strategic planning is the foundation of downtown revitalization and leads to public and private investment. We help guide communities through the process from public engagement to execution.
Placemaking
Placemaking is an approach to planning, design and implementation that puts people at the center and results in stronger community pride and higher quality of life. We understand that placemaking is crucial to talent attraction and will work with community stakeholders to build awareness and educate the public on the benefits of placemaking.
