Design Committee gets Main Street into top physical
shape. Capitalizing on its best assets — such as historic buildings and
pedestrian-oriented streets — is just part of the story. An inviting
atmosphere, created through attractive window displays, parking areas,
building improvements, street furniture, signs, sidewalks, street
lights, and landscaping, conveys a positive visual message about the
commercial district and what it has to offer. Design activities
also include instilling good maintenance practices in the commercial
district, enhancing the physical appearance of the commercial district
by rehabilitating historic buildings, encouraging appropriate new
construction, developing sensitive design management systems, and
long-term planning.
