Main Street Elkader Committees
PROMOTIONS
Services focus on positioning the Main Street district as the center of the community and the hub of economic activity, while creating a positive image that showcases a community’s unique characteristics. The Promotions committee organizes community based events, events that stimulate downtown economic growth, and aid in the marketing and image work for Main Street Elkader.
ORGANIZATION
Services focused 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.
DESIGN
Services focused on enhancing the physical elements 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. The Design Committee assists with historic preservation education, downtown beautification efforts and building rehabilitation guidelines.
ECONOMIC Vitality
Services focused on strengthening and broadening the economic base of the Main Street district. Improving the overall business climate within a designated Main Street district enhances the community’s existing economic assets while diversifying its economic base. Economic Vitality covers a broad base of economic development topics ranging from businesses development, business retention, business recruitment, market analysis, housing development and much more.
