Historic Main Street Commission
Welcome to the homepage for the Historic Main Street Commission. This organization was recently known as the Tooele City Downtown Alliance. The City Council passed Resolution 2024-31 on June 5, 2024, to change the name from Tooele City Downtown Alliance to Tooele City Historic Main Street Commission. The Tooele Historic Main Street Commission is an advisory body appointed by the Tooele City Mayor. The Board provides recommendations to improve the downtown Main Street and Broadway areas specifically related to design (street and building facade elements) and economic vitality (business mix and vacant storefronts).
Part of the Tooele City Historic Main Street includes our Buffalo Arts Initiative, which was organized in 2022. We invite you to come walk through the Downtown area and visit each of our buffalo and see what Downtown has to offer. They are even better in person! Find all of our buffalo at tooelecity.gov/buffalo.
