Partner In Downtown Revitalization…
Since 1983, Columbia Main Street
has been working to re-energize historic downtown Columbia by bringing
life back to the place that was once the area’s primary hub of social
and economic activity.
One of Tennessee’s first five Main Street
communities, Columbia Main Street implements a rejuvenation process
that involves four major components: a design plan that recaptures the
historical flavor and beauty of the community through restoration, the
attraction of a viable mix of businesses to cater to community needs, ongoing
promotion of the downtown district, and a strong organization to spearhead
the effort.
The potential payoffs of Columbia Main Street’s approach
are great. Building owners enjoy higher property values, and merchants
enjoy stronger sales. Local government receives increased tax revenues.
The corporate sector views the community as an attractive location for
business, and the general public takes pride in the revitalized image of
the heart of their downtown.
