The national small business movement, Independent We Stand, announced the quarterfinalists for its 2016 Americas Main Streets contest, which included Main Street Woodstock. As the lifeblood of our cities and towns, Main Streets play an important role in the long-term success of communities and help build a sense of place. If Main Street Woodstock wins the contest, it will receive the grand prize of $25,000.

Main Street Woodstock has seen tremendous revitalization and growth since it became a part of the Main Street program in 2010. It has seen over $250 million dollars in public/private investment made in the downtown area, 280 new businesses opened, 1,975 new jobs created, 1,140 new residential units and over 800,000 event attendees. Downtown Woodstock is a true Main Street success story.
