​As the NC Main Street program administrator for Asheboro, Downtown Asheboro Inc. (DAI) has continued our mission of creating a vibrant downtown by promoting economic development through historic preservation. Since our program inception in 2020, we have helped foster over $15 million in private investment in our downtown district, resulting in a net gain of 18 businesses, 40 full-time jobs, and 67 part-time jobs. In the 2023/2024 fiscal year, our promotional efforts including the Friday Night Rock’n the Park concert series and Zoo City StrEAT Fest, brought over 30,000 visitors to our downtown district from across the region. This impact wouldn’t be possible without the community stakeholders who have invested their time and efforts into the community, volunteering over 1,798 hours since 2020.
