Why you should join Main Street.

All of us have a stake in our community.
Our downtown is the 'Gateway Welcome Sign' of our beautiful city. Visitors and residents take their initial and lasting impressions from this Gateway into the county seat. Businesses may locate here because of the high quality of life in our community. Visitors will stop here to spend their dollars if we present a vibrant downtown for their exploration.

A thriving community supports itself.
Small and large businesses, corporations, civic groups, churches, families and individuals thrive in a community with diverse amenities, educational opportunities, employment options and continued learning alternatives. Individuals, families and business are attracted to a thriving downtown, where local businesses support the local economy and where businesses of all sizes can take advantage of a high-quality, well-trained work force.

Better shopping.
The more our residents buy locally, the more money that stays here in the local economy. This allows businesses to expand and create an atmosphere of prosperity that will attract other small businesses.

More employment opportunities within the city limits.
More businesses equal more jobs.

It's good for you!
