This focus group is a combination of two key aspects of the Main Street Program:

Design plays a key role in shaping the physical image of Main Street as a place attractive to shoppers, investors, business owners, and visitors. The committee provides education to others about good design, enhancing the image of each business as well as that of the district; providing good design advice, encouraging quality improvements to private properties and public spaces, planning Main Street’s development, guiding future growth and shaping regulations; and motivating others to make changes, creating incentives and targeting key projects.

Economic Vitality identifies new market opportunities for the traditional commercial district, find new uses for historic commercial buildings, and stimulate investment in property. Some of the Committee’s major responsibilities in relation to Economic Vitality are: learning about the districts current economic condition and identifying opportunities for market growth; strengthening existing businesses and recruiting new ones; developing financial incentives and capital for building rehabilitation and capital for building rehabilitation and business development; and monitoring the economic performance of the district.
