The focus of Laurel Main Street is the preservation and economic growth of Laurel’s Central Business District, bounded at the north by 5th St., south by Carroll Gartin Boulevard, east by Front Street and west by Beacon Street.
Laurel is one of 50 certified Main Street Communities in the state of Mississippi.
Main Street is a unique but effective approach to economic development through preservation. Using the four-point approach of organization, design, promotion and economic restructuring, Main Street communities boost local business from the city center outward.
