OUR FOUR-POINT APPROACH
The Main Street Four-Point Approach is a common-sense, community-driven approach to revitalizing downtowns and traditional neighborhood community commercial districts. Initiated in 1980 by the National Trust for Historic Preservation, Main Street provides a framework for communities to address the full range of issues and challenges facing their traditional commercial districts. This four-point framework involves local work in the following areas:
ORGANIZATION
Creation of well-run, sustainable non-profit organization that operates the Main Street program locally.
​
​
PROMOTION
Promoting and marketing the Main Street district through special events and festivals, business promotions, and overall image development.
​
DESIGN
Improvement of the downtown's physical environment through historic preservation, building renovation, facade improvements, signage and awning improvements, public spaces, amenities and infrastructure.
​
​
ECONOMIC VITALITY
Economic Development of the Main Street district, including identification of existing and potential market opportunities, business retention, business recruitment, creation or assembly of financial assistance tools and property development.
