The High Springs Main Street Program is a 501 (c) 3 non-profit corporation. The Main Street approach is a national model that advocates improvements in four different areas to create a positive, distinctive image for revitalizing and preserving the historic downtown district of High Springs.

These areas are: Organization, Promotion, Design, and Economic Restructuring.

Organization promotes the idea of working with public and private sector community leaders in order to develop consensus and coordinate resources to revitalize downtown.

Promotion refers to creating and marketing a positive image of downtown through special events (such as the River Festival), retail sales, effective advertising, and public relations.

Design encourages quality building rehabilitation, signage, public improvements, and window displays to improve the appearance of downtown.

Economic Restructuring means improving the economic base of downtown by strengthening existing businesses, recruiting new businesses, and filling second floor vacancies.

The Main Street approach also advocates a return to community self-reliance and emphasizes the downtown's traditional assets: personal service, local ownership, unique architecture, and sense of community.  The High Springs Main Street Program Mission is to provide education, support, guidance and vision for the preservation, improvement and economic restructuring of the historical High Springs downtown district.
