“Main Street Elkader is dedicated to the development of and the ongoing support of a vibrant downtown through economic development, historic preservation and educational programs with the benefits reaching out to the entire community.”
Utilizing the Main Street Approach, Elkader capitalizes on the unique identity, assets and character of our historic commercial districts. The Main Street Approach consists of tightly integrated components making up a common-sense, strategy-driven framework that guides community-based downtown revitalization efforts. Locally developed strategies are implemented through comprehensive work in four broad areas, known as the Four Points: Economic Vitality, Organization, Promotion and Design.
