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.
