To enrich current revitalization efforts taking place in our community, it is crucial to have dedicated and participatory community leadership. Stanberry Main Street is a volunteer-run organization that works with limited time and funds. The Main Street Four Point approach is made to succeed on a volunteer basis and around four core committees:

Builds a governing framework that includes a diverse representation of business and property owners, citizens, schools, churches, public officials, chambers of commerce, historians and reservation organizations.

Analyzes current market forces to develop long-term solutions; develops a business recruitment program while strengthening the competitiveness of existing merchants and service businesses.

Enhance the visual attractiveness of downtown. This includes technical assistance and encouragement to building owners toward the restoration and rehabilitation of historic structures, improved streetscape features, street and alley cleanup, colorful banners and landscaping.

Project a positive, unified image that identifies downtown as a public gathering place. Revitalization programs market the district and the community through a series of targeted activities.
