Main Street brought together public and private groups and individuals to install banners, benches, barrels and planters along Main Street and a perennial garden at the corner of Main Street and Central Street.  Partners in this effort were:

• The Topsfield Recycling Committee who provided funds for the benches and planters made from recycled materials.
• The Park and Cemetery Commissioners and the Trustees of Endowed Funds who approved use ofthe George Gould Town Trust Fund.
• The Park and Cemetery Department that helps maintain the barrels and planters.
• Tom Beard, a local architect, who designed the banner brackets.
• Lawton Welding who fabricated and donated the brackets.
• Grace and Daniel Peabody and Maria Wheeler, local landscape designers who designed the garden.
• The Bike Shop's Dave Smith who helped with the planning, planting and maintaining of the garden. 
• The Road Commissioners and the Highway Department who undertook the rehabilitation of the sidewalks, repainting of the crosswalks (to match the banners), installation of new street signs and the "heavy lifting" in the garden project.
• The Topsfield Fair that has helped maintain the banners.
• Topsfield Main Street fundraisers at annual Strawberry Festivals
• Local businesses and residents who adopted planters.
