Welcome to Durant Main Street!

Durant Main Street is a nonprofit organization dedicated to preserving the historic character of Downtown Durant while helping shape a vibrant and prosperous future for the heart of our community.

We bring businesses, property owners, community partners, volunteers, and local leaders together to strengthen our downtown district. Through business support, historic preservation, community events, public art, placemaking, and thoughtful development, we are working to create a downtown where people want to visit, invest, gather, and belong.

Together, we are building a downtown where stories begin, businesses grow, and community thrives.

Meet Our Board of Directors

Durant Main Street is guided by a volunteer Board of Directors made up of community leaders who share a passion for Historic Downtown Durant. Board members provide leadership, strengthen community partnerships, support our programs, and help turn our long-term vision into meaningful action.
