About Mexicantown Mainstreet
The Mexicantown-Hubbard Communities Main Street Program is a collaboration of businesses, residents, and community stakeholders. It is the implementation of a comprehensive commercial district economic plan to strengthen, market and promote the business district. Mexicantown welcomes everyone to respectfully enjoy its vibrant, colorful, and distinctive Main Street and traditional events, its architecture and aesthetic reflective of its proud Latin American roots.
The Mexicantown Main Street corridor encompasses a 1.7 mile stretch of businesses and local
organizations on Vernor Hwy. and Bagley St. Within these corridors, there are
more than 150 first-floor storefronts, restaurants, shops, organizations and other retail and
service-based businesses.
The program follows the State’s and National Main Street model, which is based on a four-point approach: organization, promotion, design and economic vitality. Each focus area has a committee of community stakeholders that volunteer their time and resources to the goals and objectives of each committee.
Mexicantown’s Goals include:
- Enhance the physical environment to reflect a celebration of Mexicantown’s history and heritage.
- Support Mexicantown as a welcoming, accessible, inclusive, and respectful community for residents visitors alike.
- Implement economic policies and practices that are equitable reflective of Mexicantown’s community values.
