Main StreetFour Point Approach
The DKA is a member of the National Main StreetProgram under the National Trust for Historic Preservation. Kingsport was �rst recognized as a Main Street community in 1985. The City of Kingsport provides monetary and service support to the DKA to carry out the association’s mission. Currently, the DKA is recognized as a state and national Main Street program.
The Main Street Four-Point Approach is a unique economic development tool and also the foundation for local initiatives to revitalize their districts by leveraging local assets—from cultural or architectural heritage to local enterprises and community pride.
The four points of the Main Street approach work together to build a sustainable and complete community revitalization e�ort.

“Downtown Kingsport has become a bustling, fun,
vibrant place to be and I am happy to be a part of
it. I work downtown, I live downtown and I walk
my dogs downtown…It’s my neighborhood, and I
love it! In the 25 years I have lived in Kingsport, the
downtown area, right now, is at it’s best I have ever
known it to be. With every passing month since I
moved from suburbia into a downtown loft last year,
the area has grown incredibly and with the news they
are building a dog park soon well….this has made
my Urban living now perfect! I love my furry fellas
and having a place for them to enjoy is awesome.
The Downtown Kingsport Association has done a
smashing job of bringing attention and making the
downtown region a comfortable and fun place to
be. We are blessed to have such a warm and friendly
atmosphere downtown in which to live, play and
simply enjoy!”
Lynda Fontaine

“Macados could not be happier to be located here in
Downtown Kingsport. The business here has been
wonderful and has exceeded our expectations! We
are very thankful to have DKA behind us and are
very impressed with how eager and driven they
are to make Downtown a wonderful and exciting
place to be. We are very excited to be a part of
its growth and success. We are also very pleased
with how helpful the City Officials and Mayor
Phillips have been to us. I can’t wait to see where
we are 5-10 years down the road. My predictions
are, with the people behind DKA reaching for the
moon, everyone in the tri-cities will be coming
