Main Street Cultural District ( MSCD ) in Ames was established on January 1, 2004. It was the result of a 2-year local initiative to create a unique identity and focus for downtown. The presence of key cultural institutions in the Main Street area ' along with unique, locally owned businesses -- made this move a logical development. The concept has been strongly embraced by many key players in the community, as well as individual residents. MSCD is a membership organization, open to anyone in the community that would like to support its development and enjoy its benefits. In November, 2005, Main Street Cultural District in Ames became an official, State of Iowa Certified Cultural and Entertainment District. Certification will provide improved highway signage and access to state programs that enhance the growth and development of the District.
