Design
Design means getting Six Corners into top physical shape. Taking advantage on its best assets — such as historic buildings and pedestrian-oriented streets — is just part of the story. An inviting atmosphere, created through attractive window displays, parking areas, building improvements, street furniture, signs, sidewalks, street lights, and landscaping, conveys a positive visual message about the commercial district and what it has to offer. Design activities also include instilling good maintenance practices, enhancing the physical appearance of the commercial district by rehabilitating historic buildings, encouraging appropriate new construction and long-term planning
Organizing
Organization involves getting everyone working toward the same goal and assembling the appropriate human and financial resources to implement the Six Corners revitalization program. A governing board and standing committees make up the fundamental organizational structure of the volunteer-driven program.
Economic Restructuring
Economic Restructuring strengthens a community's existing economic assets while expanding and diversifying its economic base. The Six Corners program helps sharpen the competitiveness of existing business owners and recruits compatible new businesses and new economic uses to build a commercial district that responds to today's consumers' needs. Converting unused or underused commercial space into economically productive property also helps boost the profitability of the district.
Promotions
Promotion sells a positive image of the commercial district and encourages consumers and investors to live, work, shop, play and invest in the Main Street district. By marketing a district's unique characteristics to residents, investors, business owners, and visitors, an effective promotional strategy forges a positive image through advertising, retail promotional activity, special events, and marketing campaigns carried out by local volunteers.
