Highland Park, New Jersey's first "Green Community" is also a designated Fair Trade Town, one of only 15 in the nation. Highland Park's business culture is unique and uniquely reflective of the values held by the broader community; and the emphasis on sustainability, locally and/or fairly produced goods has helped attract the kind of businesses and entrepreneurs who want to set up in Highland Park.

We also provide necessary tools and contacts for opening a business, including market research and local survey data to support business decisions for marketing and operations.

Main Street produces promotional programs and cultural events throughout the year, all designed to create a buzz and bring shoppers downtown. We have a very successful Farmers' Market (now beginning its 17th year!) every Friday downtown from mid-June to late November, which brings people out to shop. We are continuously launching new programs and services to support business and property owners, as we build a downtown in New Jersey that is second to none.

Our Main Street is a success story, as we continue to stimulate commerce and evoke civic pride. We’re building momentum, and our downtown shows a difference. For more about our newest, successful, local businesses, read here.
