Illinois Main Street Act

The act establishes a statewide Main Street program directed at revitalizing local downtown and commercial districts. It creates a designation process through which communities can be recognized as participating Main Street communities, and provides for a statewide plan setting out the program's objectives and how it is to be carried out. Responsibility for administering and overseeing the program is assigned to a designated state executive office, and the act sets out the legislative purpose behind the program along with definitions of the terms it uses.
