Our mission is to reverse a cycle of disinvestment and restore Wilburton as a thriving district. Since our founding in 2001, Wilburton Main Street, Inc. has become a valued resource for merchants and property owners by implementing the Four-Point Approach practiced by hundreds of Main Street programs around the country. This proven model for revitalizing historic commercial districts focuses on Economic Vitality, activities to recruit new businesses, design improvements to the district’s infrastructure and buildings, promotion of the district through hosting events and publicizing merchant activities, and the organization of volunteer and financial resources.
The Board of Wilburton Main Street is the backbone of the program and they have been instrumental in offering support for the implementation of our work plans. We develop work plans each year that cross over our 4 points of Design, Promotion, Economic Vitality and Organization.
Without the support of our investors, none of these successes would be possible. We look forward to working with you in the coming year as you decide the level of investment in Wilburton that works well with your budget and marketing plan.
