installing permeable tree pits instead of tree grates<\/a>. By ensuring that the street is accessible and safe in all weather, you can make it a more reliable destination for shoppers and event-goers.<\/p>\n\n\n\nKeep It Clean<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
A sparkling, clean main street is an inviting one. Always empty garbage bins regularly and sweep streets daily, if possible. Communities can coordinate with civic groups, local businesses, and government services to organize regular cleanup events. Encouraging business owners to take care of the sidewalk in front of their shops can also go a long way. A clean main street signals to visitors that the community takes pride in its public spaces, and it creates a more pleasant atmosphere for everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Promote Events and Activities<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Another effective way that your small town can revitalize its main street is to put on regular events and activities for the community. A bustling main street offers more than just shopping. Street fairs, music festivals, farmers\u2019 markets, and other events can bring people back to the heart of your town. These activities connect the community and serve as economic drivers for local businesses. Marketing these events aggressively through community channels, social media, and press releases can draw visitors from out of town and remind locals of the charm and convenience of their beloved home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The vitality of a main street is a direct reflection of a town\u2019s economic health and the strength of its community ties. By taking these actionable steps, your small town can see new life breathed into its primary commercial district.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
