Main Street Program
The
City of Douglasville is a designated Main Street Town and adheres to the Main
Street Four-Point Approach.™ The Main
Street Approach advocates a return to community self-reliance, local
empowerment, and the rebuilding of traditional commercial districts based on
their unique assets: distinctive architecture, a pedestrian-friendly
environment, personal service, local ownership, and a sense of community.
There are four distinct committees that
address all the needs of the program.
They are: Organization, Design, Economic Restructuring, and
Promotion. The Main Street Manager
manages the Main Street program and reports monthly to the Department of
Community Affairs.
Douglasville’s
Downtown Development Authority (DDA) Board members serve as committee chairs
for the Main Street committees. The DDA board guides policy, funding, and planning for the Main Street program. Typically, our volunteers represent business and property owners, residents, city officials, financial institutions, schools, religious institutions, civic groups, preservationists, media, etc.
For more information about the Main Street Approach visit the
National Trust website.
For information about Main Street Events, Promotions, and meetings visit the
city calendar.
