This web site is presented by Downtown Collinsville, Inc., a non-profit 501(c)3 organization implementing the Illinois Main Street Program and dedicated to the preservation, promotion, and revitalization of the downtown Collinsville area.
Downtown Collinsville is important to the entire community. Much of the history and traditions of Collinsville are wrapped up in those buildings located on Main Street.
In this small segment of the town, you'll find City Hall, the Fire and Police Departments, the Post Office, Collinsville Township offices, the Library and a wonderful Historical Museum.
Collinsville formed the Downtown Development Commission in 1991 to explore the idea of revitalizing Downtown Collinsville.
As a result of a community wide push, Collinsville became an official Main Street Community in the fall of 1998.
A downtown should be a source of local pride and can become a tourist attraction if its history is preserved in the buildings and landmarks. The Catsup Bottle alone has brought thousands of visitors through our Downtown since it was restored to its former glory by yet another group of volunteers.
Collinsville understands the need to breathe new life into its Downtown Business District. But everyone needs to understand that the Main Street Program is not just for merchants.
Main Street is a comprehensive plan that was created as a way for people to join forces with city government to revitalize their downtown and improve the quality of life for the entire community. The focus of this program is on preserving the community history for future generations.
Change won't happen overnight and there will always be people who don't understand the revitalization efforts. However this program continues to receive support from throughout the community. Business and personal donations of time and money continue to move our efforts forward.
The Main Street Program works because it is a community project that depends on volunteers for most of its activities. If you like to join in on the fun and excitement, drop by our office at 216 East Main Street or give Jane or Sandy a call at 345-5598.
Good things are going on in Downtown Collinsville.
Historic preservation teamed with tourism, one of the fastest growing industries in Illinois, is an economic development tool that cities across the U.S. are successfully using to bolster the economy of their downtown business districts.
Combined with solid support from the City, we continue to fund the efforts of Downtown Collinsville, Inc. in our quest to revitalize Downtown Collinsville.
We are always looking to recruit new volunteers who would like to meet some of the greatest folks Collinsville has to offer You'll be glad you did!
