What is
Douglas Main Street?
Simply put, MAIN
STREET is a program to encourage the economic
improvement and physical renovation of downtown. The
MAIN STREET approach builds on the idea of the
downtown’s total image, not simply on a “facelift”
for buildings. Douglas MAIN STREET is a part of the
national and state MAIN STREET programs in 40 states
and more then 1,000 cities.
MAIN STREET
works on a four-point approach to downtown
revitalization:
-
Organization:
Coordinating individual groups to work together
effectively in the downtown area: bankers, city
government, merchants, property owners, chamber
of commerce, civic groups and individual
citizens.
-
Promotion:
Promoting and advertising the downtown as an
exciting community center, a meeting place
filled with activity, lively stores and quality
service.
-
Design:
Enhancing the visual quality of the downtown:
buildings, signs, window displays, landscaping
and environment, people, places and physical
elements.
-
Economic
Restructuring: Diversifying the downtown
economy — filling gaps by recruiting new stores
to provide a balanced retail mix, converting
unused space into living quarters or offices and
creating an environment in which investment will
thrive.
Downtown Douglas offers a wealth of unique shopping
experiences, historic theatre, with live productions
from time to time, a multitude of restaurants that
offer the best desserts around and several special
events throughout the year.
Douglas MAIN STREET invites you to become a part of
this commitment to downtown. Join us in our efforts
to keep the historic heart and soul of downtown
Douglas thriving.
Douglas,

the

Register District.

preservation of the past while planning for the
