In late 2009, a group of concerned citizens met with City of Auburn officials to discuss the need for a coordinated approach to reverse the physical decline of the downtown business district which was threatened by the excessive and increasing number of vacant storefronts as business moved out of the downtown. The historic character of the area was being eroded as more buildings fell into disrepair. It was felt that, in particular, there was a need for a single body to take responsibility for downtown initiatives and “Main Street” type programs.
Thus, the Auburn Main Street was formed to begin the work of reversing the decline by undertaking activities that are focused on preserving Auburn as a healthy and economically vital center of commerce and social activity by promoting the preservation, rehabilitation and reuse of commercial, civic, residential and other buildings in the City.
This committee of volunteers grew into the core of what would ultimately be incorporated, in 2011, as ADAC, Inc.
In 2013, the IRS determined that ADAC INC is a public charity, exempt from income tax under section 501 (c)(3) of the tax code.
