Summit Shares What’s New at Main Street Orgs Across Oakland County
(Crystal A. Proxmire, March 26, 2025)
Waterford, MI – It’s been 25 years since Oakland County began targeted investment and organizational support for its downtowns and business corridors with the creation of the Main Street Oakland County Program. While people may be able to name downtowns that they know and love, they may not realize the amount of work, and collaboration, that goes in to creating those thriving community spaces.
What started with just three downtown organizations – Rochester, Royal Oak and Walled Lake, has now grown into a network of 29 communities spread across the county. Representatives from the Main Street organizations gathered in Waterford on March 19 for the annual Main Street Oakland County Summit. Here they were able to celebrate successes, share ideas, and talk about challenges.
