The Master Level is the most prestigious of the three levels of the Michigan Main Street program and is available to communities only after they have successfully completed five years in the Selected Level program. The intent of the Master Level is to continue assisting communities that have successfully integrated a full Main Street program into their community. This is achieved by continuing to offer trainings and networking opportunites through MMSC, as well as the opportunity to act as mentors for other Michigan Main Street communities.
At this level, communities are eligible to take part in all centralized trainings, as well as all staff-provided, community-based trainings. Communities at the Master Level are also eligible to sit on the Michigan Main Street Advisory Committee and provide feedback on the Michigan Main Street program.
