About
Tucumcari MainStreet’s mission is to preserve, revitalize, and promote the historic cultural, social, and economic significance of Tucumcari’s Downtown Commercial Historic District to create a healthy, vibrant environment for all.
We are affiliated with New Mexico MainStreet and the National Trust for Historic Preservation’s National Main Street Center, and we follow the tenants of the national and state main street programs.
The MainStreet Program is designed to restore the downtown area as a viable marketplace and the center of community activity. It is a program that builds on the downtown’s total image; therefore, the approach is an incremental one that utilizes the Four Point Approach™.
Our current Community Impact Report can be found here.
Our Approach
We utilize the four-point Main Street approach to continue down our path of preservation and economic development. The Main Street Approach is most effective in places where community residents have a strong emotional, social, and civic connection and are motivated to get involved and make a difference!
The Four Points Main Street Transformation Strategy approach includes:
-
Focuses on capital, incentives, and other economic and financial tools to assist new and existing businesses, catalyze property development, and create a supportive environment for entrepreneurs and innovators that drive local economies.
-
Supports a community’s transformation by enhancing the physical and visual assets that set the commercial district apart.
-
Positions the downtown or commercial district as the center of the community and hub of economic activity, while creating a positive image that showcases a community’s unique characteristics.
-
Involves creating a strong foundation for a sustainable revitalization effort, including cultivating partnerships, community involvement, and resources for the district.
