El diseño apoya la transformación de una comunidad mejorando los elementos físicos y visuales del centro de la ciudad y sacando partido de las ventajas únicas que distinguen al distrito comercial. En este vídeo, ofrecemos una visión general introductoria de los principios rectores, las herramientas y los incentivos, y las consideraciones cotidianas y de futuro que impulsan el movimiento Main Street.

3 Simple Next Steps

1. Build Relationships — Engage and establish a working relationship with property owners, local leaders in charge of the district’s built environment, and your state historic preservation office and/​or local historic preservation commission.
2. Survey Your District — Create a baseline physical environment survey or your district, documenting existing conditions and needs for building maintenance and repair, accessibility features, streetscapes, public spaces, and infrastructure.
3. Assemble Tools — Compile a library of design-focused tools, resources, and best practices that you can easily share with district stakeholders, positioning your Main Street program as the hub and connector for design-related inquiries.
