Leverage Everything: Strategy for a Successful Main Street 

LEVERAGE PUBLIC BUILDINGS. 

City Hall must be on or near main street to get the full impact of its influence. 

Locating the city library, the local history museum, the post office and the community theater on or near main street is important to attract people and private investment downtown. Employees, patrons and visitors to public buildings activate main street. They spend money in shops, walk and talk on the sidewalks, eat in cafés and restaurants, and support the historic and arts venues.
