Today, the National Main Street Center is excited to announce the 2015 Great American Main Street Awards®(GAMSA) winners. The GAMSA is the nation’s premier accolade for downtown revitalization achievement, where recipients are recognized for their achievement in utilizing the National Main Street Center’s Four-Point Approach and collaborating with the public and private sector to make their Main Streets an exciting place to live, work and play. The GAMSA winners were announced today at the 2015 National Main Streets Conference in Atlanta, Georgia.

And now, without further ado, the winners are:

Cape Girardeau, Missouri

If you cruise down the street in downtown Cape Girardeau, you may get a sense of déjà vu. That’s because it was the setting for the town of “North Carthage” in the psychological thriller “Gone Girl.” But the town is recognized for more than its cinematic presence. Thanks to Old Town Cape, Inc., the nonprofit organization that works to revitalize downtown Cape Girardeau, and community members, the town has flourished economically and culturally.
