Reisterstown Improvement Association (RIA) works to deepen direct service to the community along Main Street with an opportunity to help property owners. Our goal is to preserve and improve our historic facades expecting our town will enjoy substantial economic benefits from "dressing up" Main Street and to support our Businesses in the Reisterstown Main Street district as defined by the Main Street Maryland program.

John Reister and some members of Reisterstown's founding family joined RIA's family to commemorate the historic homes that continue to adorn Main Street.

RIA's Annual Sponsors help us build a better Main Street with community projects that add a special sparkle as we "Stop, Shop, Stroll and Dine."

Our farm family is ready to greet you in 2020! Produce farmers, coffee, bakers, flowers & soaps will be our initial vendors as we open after this COVID-19 pandemic. We hope to bring in our crafters later! CDC Guidelines for farmers markets will be followed to keep everyone safe.
