West Side Main Street was formed in 2005 in collaboration with West Virginia State University Extension, the City of Charleston and the West Side Neighborhood Association to address the revitalization of the business district on Charleston’s West Side.

Based in historic preservation, Main Street is a national model for community revitalization that was developed to save historic commercial architecture, but has since become a powerful economic development tool across the country. A program of the National Trust for Historic Preservation and the West Virginia Main Street, Main Street capitalizes on a community’s history and resources to tackle the complex issue of revitalizing once- booming downtown neighborhoods. Charleston West Side Main Street is dedicated to the revitalization of West Washington Street.
