About the Haines City Main Street Program

Visitors and newcomers are delighted to find Haines City’s picturesque downtown, with historic buildings, park benches, quaint restaurants, unique shops and services. The City’s plan to revitalize the historic neighborhood through streetscaping and utility improvements builds a solid base for the City’s nationally accredited Main Street program to be successful.

The Main Street program supports efforts to improve the downtown’s aesthetics. It provides shop owners with grants to paint and refurbish their buildings, while striving to preserve the community’s heritage. In partnership with the Chamber and the Economic Development Council, Main Street staff actively recruits new businesses to complement the downtown’s mix of retail and service merchants.

The Haines City Main Street Vision is to be the cultural, retail and educational center of Haines City’s Historic District, offering its unique blend of population, diversity, business mix, and the arts in a quaint, safe and accessible setting to residents and visitors of all ages.

The Haines City Main Street Blog was created to help you stay current with all of the wonderful and exciting things that are happening in this newly revitalized urban community.
