Main Street Homer

Main Street Homer Main Street Homer's Mission is to Revitalize Homer through Economic Development, Cultural and Historic Preservation, and Advancement of the Arts.

April 2014, Homer was awarded the Louisiana Main Street designation. Louisiana Main Street is a community-driven revitalization program designed to promote the historic and economic redevelopment of traditional commercial districts in Louisiana. The Main Street program improves all aspects of downtown, producing both tangible and intangible benefits. Improving economic management, strengthening pu

Looking for a great investment opportunity in Downtown Homer? Want to be part of a downtown that is growing and attracting new businesses? Then see the Request for Qualifications on two historic buildings that are perfect for retail spaces.

The buildings are owned by the Louisiana Trust for Historic Preservation, and they have utilized funds from the Louisiana Trust Revolving Fund to invested in the buildings and stabilize them to prepare them for a complete renovation.

The buildings are contributing elements in Homer's Nationally Registered Historic District and are eligible for state and federal historic tax credits and property tax abatements to help offset construction costs.
