About Nob Hill Main Street
Nob Hill Main Street is a grassroots collaboration of dedicated residents, small businesses, and community organizations working together with local government agencies to revitalize blighted areas in the Nob Hill urban community. We established ourselves as an emerging Main Street community in 2009.
The National Main Street Program was formed years ago by the National Trust for Historic Preservation. Under its direction, the New Mexico Main Street Program (supervised by New Mexico Economic Development) has fostered the revitalization of numerous local downtown districts across New Mexico.
