The TEAM Jaffrey volunteers are leading efforts to make downtown Jaffrey a "destination." Our Award-winning Main Street Volunteers are working to revitalize our commercial district by focusing on our unique architecture, rich history and strong sense of community.
The TEAM Jaffrey Program is a part of the National Main Street Program developed by the National Trust for Historic Preservation, which naturally promotes historic preservation and economic revitalization of traditional business districts throughout the United States. An economically viable and active downtown is essential to the overall health and vitality of Jaffrey.
The TEAM Jaffrey Program and the community have been recognized for excellence by being awarded Outstanding New Hampshire Main Street Community of 2001, Great American Main Street Semi-finalist of 2003, and more than eleven individual projects receiving awards of excellence by the New Hampshire Main Street Center.
