The Main Street program is a community based approach to revitalize downtowns. Investing in Perry County's downtowns creates pride, good economic health, support to local businesses, and it brings the community together. Downtowns reflect how the community sees itself, and it all starts with a time-tested framework to grow and transform them.  The Main Street Four Point approach is a comprehensive strategic plan to help revive the downtowns.

        1) Organization means building leadership. We want to ensure broad community engagement and forge partnerships across the county. Everyone working together is a crucial part to renewing our downtowns. 

        2) Design is creating an inviting atmosphere. We want to celebrate historic character and foster people-centered public spaces while improving the physical image of the downtowns as a quality place to shop, work, walk, invest, and live.  

        3) Promotion allows unique communication through storytelling. We want to support the "shop-local" experience. Creating excitement through means of marketing an enticing image to shoppers, investors, and visitors allows for more customer traffic.

       4) Finally, Economic Vitality allows for us to cultivate entrepreneurship by building a diverse economic base while catalyzing new businesses. Long-term solutions are developed by analyzing market forces.

 The Four Point approach is essential to making Perry County a better place. This is your community- we want you to be a part of cultivating it! Sign up to be a Main Street Committee member!
