Main Street is a nationally recognized program designed to restore downtown areas as viable
market places and the center of community activity. Ottawa Main Street was established July of
2001, and is a non-profit, volunteer based organization. Our thriving downtown is a great source
of pride for the people of Ottawa, and a powerful asset when recruiting new businesses, jobs,
and residents to our beautiful city. We all have a stake in the future of Ottawa. A thriving
downtown is more than a retail service center. Downtown offers a sense of place and community.
It is where people shop, meet friends, and eat a great meal. It also serves as a gathering place
for parades, celebrations, and events that bring the people in our community together. For
operational support, the Ottawa Main Street Association is dependant on membership dues,
private contributions, and support from the City of Ottawa.
