OUR MISSION

The Durant Main Street program is dedicated to revitalizing historic downtown Durant by promoting preservation, economic growth, and a sense of community.

​

OUR VISION

Durant Main Street is the anchor of our community. Rich in culture and arts, locals and visitors alike are drawn for unique shopping, dining, and entertainment. Durant Main Street is a place where locally owned businesses thrive, history is preserved, and our friends and neighbors gather together to live their best life, locally.

​

OUR STRATEGY

Our strategy at the Durant Main Street program is to serve as the catalyst for economic growth and community development in downtown Durant by:

• Advancing a positive image of downtown and promoting it as an exciting place to shop, live, work, and invest

• Sustaining and improving the appearance of downtown

• Enhancing the economic vitality of the entire district

• Hosting activities that will benefit downtown businesses, residents, tourists, the university community, and industry

• Unifying retail and service businesses with a reputation for hospitality, team work, and friendly customer service

 

The Durant Main Street program models our operations after the “Four Point Approach” developed by the National Main Street organization as a proven method of comprehensive commercial district revitalization. There are four specific points which work together to build a sustainable and complete community revitalization effort:

• Design

• Economic Vitality

• Organization

• Promotions
