Main Street Martinsburg
Main Street Martinsburg, Inc. was officially designated a Main Street Program in August 1992. The purpose of the program is to assist the community in revitalizing the downtown commercial district through historic preservation. Being one out of fourteen local Main Street Communities in West Virginia, Main Street Martinsburg receives strategic planning, technical assistance, and leadership from the state program, Main Street West Virginia. Through Main Street West Virginia, Main Street Martinsburg can offer technical planning, organizational and training assistance, and design assistance services for building facade improvements and maintenance. Started in 1988, Main Street West Virginia also acts as a liaison with other state agencies in addition to the parent organization, The National Main Street Center.
The National Main Street Center (NMSC), established in 1980, is a program of the National Trust for Historic Preservation. The NMSC sponsors workshops and conferences, publishes training materials, offers a certification program in professional downtown management, produces the Great American Main Street Awards, and operates the National Main Street Network, a membership program that helps communities learn from each others' experiences.
Today the Main Street Program works with more than 1500 towns and cities across the country. The key to the Main Street success in downtown revitalization id the Main Street Four Point Approach:
Design: Enhancing the physical appearance of the commercial district by rehabilitating historic buildings, encouraging supportive new construction, developing sensitive design management systems, and long-term planning.
Organization: Building consensus and cooperation among the many groups and individuals who have a role in the revitalization process.
Promotion: Marketing the traditional commercial district's assets to customers, potential investors, new businesses, local citizens and visitors.
Economic Restructuring: Strengthening the district's existing economic base while finding ways to expand it to meet new opportunities -- and challenges from outlying development.
