Your voice.
Your downtown.
OurBlock.
OurBlock is a community demand pilot that gives neighbors a direct say in which business opens in an empty space near them. A thriving Main Street should not be left to chance. It should be shaped and supported by the people who live there.
About the Program
OurBlock gives you a say in what opens on your block. Find your community, vote for the business you would most like to see in an empty space, and soon, pledge your support for your favorite. OurBlock is built by the community, so the more neighbors take part, the stronger the case for the businesses people want.

Are you a local entrepreneur?
Skip the Noise. Let your community ask for you.
If you own a local business or you are ready to launch your concept, put your name on the community ballot. Your community will tell you directly whether they want you on Main Street, before you sign a single lease.
