About Us
A Distinct Identity
Our goal is to promote the beautification and revitalization of Carthage through volunteerism, partnerships, community and business engagement by using the Main Street Four-Point Approach: Economic Vitality, Design, Promotion and Organization. We promote revitalization efforts through historic preservation and support of small businesses in our downtown historic district.

Our Story
Here at Vision Carthage, we see the value in investing in our small town. We want to be a catalyst for positive change, and since our beginnings in 2011, we’ve been driven by the same ideas we initially founded our Non-Profit Organization upon: a desire to beautify and revitalize Carthage. We'd love to have you come along side us as we work towards this common goal. These improvements will enhance the community in so many ways.
