Over the past 30 years, the Main Street movement has transformed the way communities think about the revitalization and management of their downtowns and neighborhood commercial districts. Cities and towns across the nation have come to see that a prosperous, sustainable community is only as healthy as its core.

Pickens has been fortunate enough to be chosen as one of only nine Main Street South Carolina Communities. Main Street South Carolina empowers residents with the knowledge, skills, tools and organizational structure necessary to revitalize their downtowns, neighborhood commercial districts and cities/towns into vibrant centers of commerce and community.

The Main Street program focuses on the Four Point Approach:
Design
Organization
Promotion
Economic Restructuring
