Downtown Florence has earned National Accreditation according to an article published by SCNow.
“We congratulate this year’s nationally accredited Main Street programs for meeting our established performance standards,” Doug Loescher, director of the National Trust Main Street Center, said. “Rebuilding a district’s economic health and maintaining that success requires broad-based community involvement and support, as well as establishing a strong organization that is committed to long-term success.”
The revitalization efforts of Florence Downtown Development Corp. were recently evaluated by the agency and found to meet its stringent standards for accreditation.
I really am excited about a reenergized downtown. Towns with strong downtown areas are a lot of fun, and it is so nice to be able to walk from shop to shop. It is not an easy process, and I know it will take time and effort. Events like Florence after Five are hopefully just the start to a lot of focused energy.

Fun and Functional! I dream of the day when I can live, work and play downtown… and rent a car to take on vacation!
