Our Mission
The mission of the Fredericktown Revitalization Initiative, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, is the thoughtful preservation of the architectural and cultural heritage of main street Fredericktown in balance with sustainable economic development to meet the needs of the Fredericktown community.
By using the Main Street Four Point Approach of design, organization, promotion, and economic restructuring in an inclusive, community-based process we will revitalize Fredericktown’s historic downtown district resulting in a greatly improved experience for people living, visiting, or doing business in downtown Fredericktown.
