Editor's Notes
- Without the will to succeed and the desire to work hard to create change, no downtown revitalization program will succeed. Grant programs help fund pieces of the work plan and consultants can provide guidance, but without local initiative and leadership, your downtown revitalization effort will not be successful. NO QUICK FIX!
- A public-private partnership is needed to make meaningful, long-term downtown revitalization possible. Both public (city and county government) and private entities (non-profit, property owners, banks, etc.) must be involved, as neither can bring about sustainable change alone. Each sector has unique skills and particular areas in which it works most effectively. Combining the talents of both groups brings together all the skills necessary for revitalization to occur in a unified program.
- Each Kentucky downtown is unique and has special characteristics that set it apart from others. By creating a strong revitalization effort based on the downtown’s unique heritage, each local Main Street program creates an organizational structure that builds on its own specific opportunities. In this way, the Main Street program is adaptable.
- Historic commercial buildings embody quality construction, craft and style that cannot be replicated today. No shopping center can imitate these qualities or authenticity. The quality along with the services offered by businesses make the downtown unique in the marketplace and give it a marketing advantage. Projects undertaken by the local Main Street program should reflect this high level of quality to reinforce the special characteristics of downtown.
- Economic changes experienced by downtown commercial areas in recent decades have made some shoppers and investors question the ability of downtown to regain economic vitality. Physical decay has caused many people to forget how important the downtown commercial buildings are to shaping the community’s identity and explaining its unique history. Changing people’s investment attitudes is central to a successful revitalization program.
- By identifying and prioritizing the major issues that downtown must confront, revitalization organizations can develop work programs that break down the large issues into smaller tasks. By developing a strong network of volunteer support, Main Street programs can build organizational structures capable of achieving the quantifiable tasks mapped out in the work plan.
- Downtown is the Community’s Living Room. It belongs to everyone, and should be carefully protected and preserved.
- Retirees and families consider quality of the community before moving.
