Main Street Watonga is part of a National Main Street Program. In Oklahoma, 42 towns are currently enrolled in the program. Main Street Watonga has been a member of the program since 1997. We follow the guidelines set forth by the state which are called the 4 Point Approach.
A community's central business district often accounts for as much as 30 percent of a town's jobs and 40 percent of its tax base. Main Street is more than an economic asset. It is also a community's crossroad, a place in our hearts and minds that evokes strong emotions and helps define our identity. In recent years, many approaches to downtown revitalization, from urban renewal to paint-up and fix-up projects have failed because they focused on just one or two problems rather than dealing with the full spectrum of interrelated issues that affect traditional commercial districts. The National Trust for Historic Preservation's Main Street program offers an approach to downtown revitalization that has been successful in more than a thousand towns and cities throughout the country. The four points organization, promotion, design, and economic restructuring are the keys to success of the Main street approach.
