We work with the community to keep Ashmont strong, vibrant, and exciting.
Who We Are
The goal of the Boston Main Streets program is to improve the quality of life in Boston’s neighborhoods. Greater Ashmont Main Street (originally called St. Mark’s Area Main Street) was designated as one of Boston’s Main Street Districts in the summer of 1999. Our commercial district includes more than 130 businesses in almost 400,000 square feet of commercial and institutional space, and serves more than 30,000 residents, workers and commuters.
What We Do
Greater Ashmont Main Street strives to maintain and further develop our district as a welcoming destination for those from inside and outside the area. We do this by having the appeal of rich historical qualities melded with modern day development. Fostering a business mix that supports the needs of area residents and civic organizations. Advocating for a transit-oriented locale that benefits a culturally diverse population. Finally creating a vibrant social scene offering spaces favorable for community gatherings, which will attract patronage from beyond our region.
