​What is Project Main Street?

​Project Main Street” is a community development initiative that serves Bridgeport residents and focuses on activating entrepreneurship  in Bridgeport. This is done by providing technical assistance and guidance to Bridgeport micro-enterprises 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 Participants go through a 90 Day goal setting program were they are partnered with a Business coach and together a goal is set that will move them forward to starting or taking intentional action toward their business with the next 90 days
