Empowering
Our District
Since 1994, we have been the heartbeat of Upham's Corner, dedicated to fostering a diverse and flourishing commercial landscape.
Mission & Purpose
Upham's Corner Main Street, Inc. (UCMS) is a community-led business district planning agency that works to build a vibrant commercial district in Upham's Corner; a bustling town center in Dorchester, Massachusetts that is anchored by the historic Strand Theatre.
Who We Are
UCMS is managed by a volunteer Board of Directors, project-focused committees, an Executive Director and part-time staff/interns. UCMS is successful only through energetic volunteer action.
As one of the leading programs in the Boston Main Streets network, UCMS has a track record of innovative project planning and implementation that has raised the profile of the Upham's Corner commercial district.
Our Legacy
History
UCMS was first created in 1994 when a group of concerned neighborhood residents, merchants, and civic leaders banded together with a goal of advocating, planning, and managing the revitalization of the Upham's Corner commercial district.
