The Downtown Hawkinsville Main Street Office is your first stop for locating, expanding, or launching a business in the Downtown Commercial District. Our team can connect you with the latest market data, demographic research, and insight into local economic trends, helping you understand the unique opportunities our growing community offers.
Located in the heart of our Commercial Business District, a vibrant center of commerce, culture, and collaboration, the Main Street Office works closely with the Downtown Development Authority & Main Street Board, and Historic Preservation Commission to support both new and established businesses. Through partnerships, planning, and preservation, we help foster a thriving ecosystem of retail shops, professional services, restaurants, and upper-story living spaces that make Downtown Hawkinsville a walkable, welcoming place to live, work, and gather.
Businesses locating downtown can access a full suite of tools and resources, including façade grants, annual matching grants, Rural Zone and Opportunity Zone tax credits, and tailored technical assistance. Our office also assists property owners and entrepreneurs with site selection, showing available buildings, and identifying the right location for long-term success.
Throughout the year, we create events that draw residents and visitors into the district—seasonal markets, merchant promotions, community festivals, and more—all designed to drive foot traffic and strengthen connections between businesses and the broader community.
Whether you’re opening your doors for the first time or expanding your operations, we’re here to guide you every step of the way with:
• Business development resources
• Incentives and tax credit guidance
• Workforce development support
• Training and education resources
• Local government navigation
