The Main Street Program...
In 2002 the City of Canyon was officially designated
a Main Street city. The Texas Main Street Program is
part of the Texas Historical Commission. It was started
in 1981 and is one of the most successful through out
the United States. There are currently more than 40
state that participate in the national program which
is hosted by the National Trust for Historic Preservation.
The Main Street methodology addresses four areas of
concern and combines activities in these areas to develop
a community’s individual strategy for strengthening
and redeveloping its central business district. The Four Point Approach encompasses Organization, Promotion,
Design, Business Planning and Development.
The Canyon Main Street program is designed on community
involvement and public-private partnerships to preserve
a town’s unique assets and create an inviting
atmosphere in town. It is also used as a powerful tool
focused on economic development within the context of
historic preservation.
The Canyon Main Street Advisory Board is appointed
by the city commissioners. The board is responsible
for assisting in policy, review of the annual program
budget and determining the goals of the program. The
Advisory Board meets each month with the exception of
May, July and December.
