The Downtown Fort Dodge Self-Supported Municipal Improvement District (SSMID) was formed in 1982 to breathe economic life into historic downtown Fort Dodge. Fort Dodge initially became a Main Street community in 1987 to revitalize the District which suffered economic decline for many years. Accomplishing many goals, Fort Dodge left the Main Street program in 2002, the SSMID Board of Directors continued sponsoring public projects making the District safer, easier to navigate, and creating garden spaces throughout the downtown.

Main Street Fort Dodge is dedicated to revitalizing the cultural fabric and historical significance of Fort Dodge's original merchant district. Through initiatives focused on economic impact and community engagement, the organization aims to restore the downtown area’s purpose and prosperity. With a range of resources and events, including a Historic Walking Tour and opportunities for volunteerism, Main Street Fort Dodge encourages locals and visitors alike to explore and engage with the downtown area. Their commitment to historic preservation and business development fosters a vibrant community atmosphere. Generated from the website
