Main Street Program

Plaquemine’s Main Street program was initiated in 1992. The goal of this program is to revitalize the downtown area of Plaquemine, assist businesses in that area, and beautify the area. Many projects have been completed toward these goals. They include:

• Working with business owners to secure grants for facade improvements;
• Installing ornamental lighting and trash cans downtown;
• Renovating and opening the Plaquemine Depot Market for small businesses to sell antiques, crafts, artwork, and other items.
• Installing brick sidewalk pavers along Railroad Avenue;
• Purchasing street pole banners for various seasons;
• Sponsoring several events annually to bring residents and others to the downtown Plaquemine area, such as the Independence Day Festival and Children’s Christmas Festival.
• Assisting downtown business owners with customer service and other training programs to help their businesses prosper.
• Serving as lead agency for an organization of downtown business owners. This group addresses issues in the area and arranges group projects.
