Friends of Community Main Street

From the beginning, the Friends of Community Main Street have been there for us. They've given generously to help keep the vision of a vibrant downtown alive and growing. We would like to thank our friends for their continued support. As the non-profit organization that works to keep downtown strong, Community Main Street cannot do what we do without you!

Because of the help and support of our Friends, we will continue our efforts to expand economic development programming, promote historic preservation, and sponsor special events that you, and fellow "Friends" will continue to enjoy. This is everyone's downtown and together we continue to make downtown Cedar Falls a wonderful place to live, work and play!
