Any DBA member interested in attending a committee meeting or participating on a committee, please contact the chair for dates and times.

Organization - Rebecca Toedter 823-1589
The Organization Committee builds a consensus and corporation between the groups that play a role in the downtown. Many individuals and organizations have an important stake in the economic and cultural viability of the district. The Main Street Four Point Approach™ builds a framework for a sensible volunteer-driven programming and organizational structure that matches the community’s assets and potential.

Economic Restructuring - Gary Capps 823-2111
The ERC strengthens the existing economic base of the Downtown area while simultaneously diversifying it. Economic restructuring activities include helping existing downtown business expand, recruiting new businesses to provide a balanced mix, converting included space into property, and sharpening the competitiveness of downtown businesses. ERC meetings are held at 11:30 am on the 3rd Thursday of each month at the Monkey Cat Restaurant. For more information, call Gary.

Promotions - Teri Gibson 885-9644
Promotions involve marketing the downtown’s unique characteristics to shoppers, investors, new business, tourists and others.

Design & Beautification - Corinne Lee 885-4312
