Highland County Visitors Bureau
A group of Greenfield community advocates, with the support of the village of Greenfield, are partnering with Heritage Ohio, to answer questions and guide the Greenfield community through a process of becoming a Main Street Community.
The process, referred to as The Main Street Program, helps local communities take a look at its assets as well as its challenges. It is designed to set priorities and provide the direction needed for basic building blocks of operations, marketing, design and economic growth specific to Greenfield.
The Main Street Program works by using a four-point methodology, creating a total image for the community: providing the retail/professional area with it’s necessary market niche, creating a united visual identity, unique to Greenfield and nurturing the culture associated with Greenfield’s location, appearance and way of life. The Main Street Approach builds on existing resources and encourages community collaboration with residents, community leaders and business owners.
The Downtown Assessment Resource Team (D.A.R.T.) Visit will be held April 4-5. The team consists of downtown revitalization experts who will tour the downtown and meet with community members and advocates to gain a better understanding of downtown revitalization. Downtown issues will be identified and addressed throughout the course of the visit.
A specific plan will be created and delivered to the community, with recommendations to address all the concerns and lay out a clear path for downtown revitalization success.
Please join Heritage OHIO and the community advocate group for Greenfield-It’s Your Town Community Presentation on Tuesday, April 4 from 6-8 p.m. at the First Baptist Church, Fellowship Hall, 250 Lafayette Street, Greenfield.
In order for a D.A.R.T. visit to be successful the local community needs to be engaged. The greater the community support and participation, the more value the community will realize from the process.
If you are unable to make this first meeting and are interested in becoming an active participant, please contact Destiny Bryson, executive director at the Visitors Bureau of Highland County, at 614-440-1885 or dbryson@highlandcounty.com. To stay updated on the program, join the group on Facebook @GreenfieldItsYourTown. For more information, go to http://www.heritageohio.org/.
