At its best, a local Main Street program represents and involves organizations, agencies, businesses, and individuals from throughout the community — not just those who own property or businesses in the commercial district or who have a direct economic tie to it, but all members of the community who are interested in the district’s overall health. By actively involving a broad range of interests and perspectives from the public and private sectors in the revitalization process, the Main Street program leverages the community’s collective skills and resources to maximum advantage. The Main Street organization should have the active participation of various stakeholders at the committee and board levels, including such constituents as:

Local government
Civic groups
Regional planning groups
Community development organizations
Real estate agents
Consumers
Property owners
Religious institutions
Business owners
Historic preservation organizations
School groups and students
Financial institutions
Architects and building contractors
District/neighborhood resident

All the separate entities of Main Street come together for one goal which is to strengthen the economic base of downtown. They work as a team to recruit and help businesses grow and create new jobs. Not only is there a feeling of accomplishment when the work is completed, but there are many enjoyable opportunities for all with the annual events that Paintsville Main Street Association coordinates.
