Clinton Chamber of Commerce

Our Mission

Main Street Clinton, Inc., a 501©(3) organization and program of the Mississippi Main Street Association, exists to strengthen Olde Towne and Clinton Boulevard in partnership with the business community, property owners, and residents. Our efforts will stimulate economic revitalization and historic character preservation while creating a positive image for Clinton as an exciting place to invest and own a business.  We seek to encourage cooperation and build leadership through concentrated efforts in promotion, community design and economic restructuring.

Our Strategy

To accomplish this mission, we follow the National Trust Main Street Center’s trademarked four point approach to revitalization:  Organization, Promotions, Design and Economic Restructuring.  Main Street Clinton has established committees to reflect the four points.  The committees are comprised of Main Street Clinton Board members and community volunteers.  Committees meet regularly to work toward their revitalization goals which are set annually by the organization.  

Our Structure

Main Street Clinton is a quasi-governmental organization lead by a Board of Directors  made up of volunteers from the community and a Main Street Manager.  Board meetings are held monthly to discuss organizational business and work on mission specific goals.  Main Street Clinton belongs to the larger Mississippi Main Street Association and the National Trust Main Street Center.  

Main Street Clinton Committee volunteers are the wheels that make Main Street move.  Our committee volunteers create timelines and decide how to accomplish the yearly goals.
