Beaufort, a historic city in South Carolina, has achieved a significant milestone in its concerted endeavors to enhance the appeal of its downtown area. The unveiling of a new website, www.mainstreetbeaufort.org, provides a detailed guide covering every aspect of downtown Beaufort.
An All-Inclusive Guide to Beaufort
The new online resource serves as a one-stop antidote for locals and tourists looking to discover or further explore the city.

Sharing Resources Among Main Street Family
Belonging to the South Carolina Main Street organization has availed Beaufort the opportunity to network on a purpose-built social media group along with the 33 other Main Street members located across the state. The Downtown Operations Department of the City of Beaufort actively participates in Main Street classes aimed at enhancing their expertise in keeping the downtown district vibrant and thriving.
Besides providing networking opportunities, being a member of the South Carolina Main Street organization has availed access to technical training aimed at aiding historic preservation.

The initiative ensures that businesses receive requisite support and resources for their thriving operations.
Looking Ahead
