paving the road to success

 This committee’s focus is on building strong, broad-based support in the form of human and financial resources and involving both the public and private sectors with a stake in the downtown revitalization initiative. the grassroots, volunteer-driven initiative is dependent upon stakeholder involvement, leadership development, and empowerment, therefore primary focuses are fundraising, volunteer development and communications.  

 This committee’s focus is on positioning the Main Street district as the center of the community and the hub of economic activity and events while creating a positive image that showcases a community’s unique characteristics. When you begin promoting the downtown in a positive manner, a community can begin to focus on the commercial district 

as a source of community pride, social activity, and 

economic development. 

This committee’s focus is on enhancing the physical 

elements (buildings, signs, window displays, landscaping, 

and environment) of downtown while capitalizing on the unique assets that set the district apart. Using preservation-based strategies, Main Street encourages building reuse through appropriate rehabilitation and maintenance and provides education to help communities protect and

manage their historic resources. 

This committee’s focus is on strengthening the 

economic base of the Main Street district. This involves diversifying the commercial district economy by identifying potential market niches, finding new uses for vacant or underused spaces 

and improving business practices for overall economic growth and sustainability.
