Mission Statement

Gardiner Main Street encourages its downtown’s economic and cultural vitality through concentrated efforts of organization, design, promotion and economic revitalization, while protecting Gardiner’s unique historic character.

Community Transformation Strategies

The primary purpose of Gardiner Main Street is to strengthen the City of Gardiner as a hub for community, commerce and culture.

We do this by focusing on the following community transformation strategies:

Cultural Connections: Cultivate and create a strong and accessible arts and craft cultural community including support for Johnson Hall, Artwalk Gardiner, Maine ‘Makers’ and local artisans.

Wellness and Recreation: Connect and promote our wellness community and outdoor recreational opportunities.

Local Business: Expand our local foods/craft beverage movement and advocate for new and existing businesses

Welcoming Community: Position Gardiner as a family friendly, safe, walkable, welcoming community.

History and Heritage: Emphasize the history and heritage of the community: its work, dwellings, people, and accomplishment

GET INVOLVED

We need the help of dedicated community members to sustain the Gardiner Main Street initiatives.
