Committees |
Committees are the backbones of successful Main Street programs. They
provide the people who implement activities and the structured framework
that allows volunteers throughout the community to become actively involved
in the revitalization process. They enable members of many constituent
groups with a stake in Eagle River's future to work together to accomplish
common goals and to build new and strengthen existing friendships. Finally,
committees help develop new leadership to sustain the revitalization effort
for years to come.
The Main Street approach to revitalization is based on four points:
- Organization
- Promotion
- Design
- Economic Restructuring
|
|
Organization Committee:
Provides the
stability necessary to build and maintain a revitalization program. Diverse
groups, from both the public and private sector, work together to create
a strong, viable organization that is well structured, well funded and
committed to the future.
Committee Chair, Al Pittelko |
Promotion Committee:
Has the responsibility
to market a unified quality image of the community as the center of activities,
goods and services to retailers, shoppers, investors, tourists, and others. Effective promotion creates a positive image of the community.
Committee Chair, Gary Fawcett |

|
Design Committee:
Works to create an attractive, coordinated and quality image of the community
by capitalizing on its unique assets and heritage. Their attention is
focused on all the physical elements such as buildings, storefronts, signs,
public improvements, parking, landscaping, and merchandising displays.
Committee Chair, Nancy Schuller
|
Economic Restructuring Committee:
Works to strengthen the existing economic base of the community while
diversifying it. It is their job to develop a market strategy that will
result in an improved retail mix, a stronger tax base, increased investor
confidence and a stable role for the businesses as major components of
the city's economy.
Committee Chair, Barry McLeane |
