About JP Centre/South Main Streets
Our business and retail districts have a significant impact on the culture of our neighborhood, and businesses and residents alike contribute to their vitality and strength. When businesses succeed, they introduce new jobs and new opportunities. They support community activities and organizations. Strong retail districts strengthen the neighborhood and increase safety. And in supporting these local businesses, residents end up creating a thriving “main street,” which sustains the culture of neighborhoods like Jamaica Plain.
JP Centre/South Main Streets is a community-led organization whose mission is to enhance and strengthen the JP Centre/South business district as a vibrant center of commercial and community activity for Jamaica Plain and surrounding neighborhoods. In partnership with Boston Main Streets, we provide a direct conduit to the City of Boston and offer industry assistance to help new and existing businesses to succeed.
Our organization endeavors to sustain our lively community by bringing residents, businesses, and the City of Boston together to build a resilient local economy.
