What We Do
We follow the National Main Street Center's Four-Point Approach to downtown revitalization. The program is a comprehensive revitalization strategy to encourage economic development within the context of historic preservation. Since the early 1980's, the Main Street Program has emerged across the country as a major force in downtown revitalization. The Main Street Four-Point Approach Program encourages development through the work of four active committees in the areas of Design, Economic Development, Organization and Marketing. These committees meet on a monthly basis, are driven by an annual work plan, and performed by dedicated volunteers. For more information on the National Main Street Approach, please visit. http://www.preservationnation.org/main-street/
