Our Committees
The following committees meet on a monthly basis to complete annual work plans, which are created to guide
activities and provide a yardstick for measuring the success of the organization. The Board of Directors is
responsible for developing a budget for each work plan. As a volunteer, you are entitled to a copy of Main
Street’s annual work plan, which you can obtain from the office. Main Street’s success is based on a
comprehensive strategy of work in four areas:
Organization – This committee is charged with building consensus and cooperation among the many groups
and individuals who have a role in the revitalization process. They work to market Main Street and its goals to
the community and recruit new volunteers and members.
Promotion – Marketing downtown’s assets to customers, potential investors, new businesses, local citizens and
visitors is the main role of this committee. This groups also works to market the downtown as a “fun” and
exciting place to visit and shop through annual events and retail promotions.
Design – This group works toward enhancing the physical appearance of downtown by capitalizing on its
assets and heritage. Rehabilitating historic building, encouraging sensitive new construction, developing design
management systems, implementing the Façade Grant, and long term planning fall under Design.
Economic Restructuring – This committee works toward strengthening downtown’s economic base while
finding ways to expand it to meet new opportunities for development. The group looks at ways to improve
retail mix, build a stronger tax base, and create a stable role for the downtown as a major component of the
community’s economic health.
