About The Portland Main Street Program:
The Michigan Main Street program is a long-term approach to revitalizing Michigan’s struggling downtown business districts. Portland was one of only four cities in the state chosen for this valuable and prestigious program when it began in Michigan in 2003. The Portland Main Street Action Committee worked hard to achieve both "Michigan Main Street" status and "Michigan Cool City" status in 2003.
