The Success of Main Street Revitalization Programs

An article in the January 2003 issue of “Public Management” magazine highlights the success of the Main Street program in revitalizing downtowns across the nation.

The program is structured around a four point approach to revitalization, including: 1) organization – of committees and partnerships; 2) design improvements to increase the area’s visual appeal; 3) promotion of the downtown area through marketing and special events; and 4) economic restructuring to strengthen the downtown’s business mix.

The article showcases four success stories, including three in the South: Tupelo, Mississippi; Cushing, Oklahoma; and Danville, Kentucky.
