Our Mission
Our Vision Lynn Main Streets wants to give people a reason to come to downtown Lynn; creating a vibrant, sustainable and welcoming environment and improving the quality of life for all those who partake.
Our Mission: To revitalize, preserve, and promote our historic downtown as a vibrant destination for residents, businesses, creative industry and visitors to gather, shop, work, and live. Through inclusive, art-driven influences, and a force of outreach culturally representative of our city, we will rebuild the sustainable infrastructure needed for Lynn to fuel growth and progression while fostering and celebrating our unique identity in our post-industrial urban environment of today
A Cohesive Vision
“A Lynn Main Streets program will create a cohesive vision for the city of Lynn and all the diversifying skills we, as a community, have to offer. I, myself, migrated from Colombia to Lynn in 2003. I am proud to say that mine is the only specialty coffee shop in Lynn at the moment, and we are excited to embark on this new, inclusive and collaborative vision for our city”
