The Main Street program must ensure that there is a strong connection between the board and the Main Street committees. To achieve this, the Pikeville Main Street Program recommends that board members serve on one of the 4 Point Approach committees as set forth by the National Main Street Program.
Each committee is also represented by community volunteers to carry out the goals and projects of the program.
Organization means getting everyone working toward the same goal. The tough work of building consensus and cooperation among the groups that have an important stake in the district can be eased by using the common-sense formula of a volunteer-driven program and an organizational structure of the board and committees.
Business Improvement means finding a new purpose for Main Street’s enterprises by helping existing downtown businesses expand and recruiting new ones to respond to today’s market, Main Street programs help convert unused space into productive property and sharpen the competitiveness of business enterprises.
Promotion means selling the image and promise of Main Street by marketing the district’s unique characteristics to shoppers, investors, new businesses, and visitors. An effective promotion strategy forges a positive image through advertising retail promotion activity, special events, and marketing campaigns carried out by local volunteers.
