Oregon Main Street Program
Toledo joined the Oregon Main Street Program in 2008. The program is a work plan for revitalization of traditional downtown business districts developed by the National Trust for Historic Preservation. It has been used in more than 1,400 American cities over the last 30 years to improve the vitality of their downtown areas.
What happened to Main Street? Historically, America's Main Streets were intended to be the center of the community's commerce, banking, government and social life. According to the National Main Street Program, "Downtown and neighborhood business districts are no longer the only providers of goods and services to their communities." Easy transport and good roads have encouraged business districts to spread out, creating strip malls and "big box" stores. Technology has made it possible to shop and do business without leaving home. "Main Street needs an ally, an advocate, a leader, and that's where you come in."
The Toledo City Council is creating a Main Street Steering Committee to oversee the efforts of four working committees who will tackle changes to and opportunities of Main Street. The four committees are Organization, Promotion, Design, and Economic Restructuring, corresponding with the "Four-Point Approach" of the Main Street Program. MORE...
