“Project Main Street” is a community development initiative that serves Bridgeport residents and focuses on entrepreneurship and activating empty storefronts in Bridgeport. This is done by providing technical assistance and guidance to Bridgeport microenterprises who are looking to grow, scale, and open in Bridgeport.  Project Main Street empowers residents, artists, and creatives to become part of the local economy.  This initiative strengthens our communities, supports economic development, creates jobs, and serves residents and visitors with expanded retail and service options throughout the city.

Project Main Street is a collaborative partnership between Led By Us Consulting and the Bridgeport Arts + Cultural Council.
