Main Street Ozark Mission Statement

To encourage the development, redevelopment, promotion and improvement of the downtown area in Ozark, Arkansas through education and historic preservation.

What is the National Main Street Program?

The Main Street Program is a revitalization strategy used in over 1,200 cities and 40 states. Developed by the National Trust for Historic Preservation's National Main Street Center, the program encourages imaginative use of business and government resources to support local downtown and neighborhood commercial district revitalization efforts. The Main Street approach is based on four points and relies on eight guiding principles to produce fundamental change in traditional commercial business districts.

Four Point Approach

3. DESIGN: Works to enhance the physical appearance of buildings, structures, signage and public areas.

4. ECONOMIC RESTRUCTURING: Seeks ways to strengthen downtown's economic assets and works to fulfill its broadest market potential.
