The mission of Monahans Main Street Association is to promote and encourage growth and pride in the Monahans Central Business District, through beautification, restoration and community participation, thereby creating a thriving core to the community. Downtown Monahans is a work in progress as an official downtown revitalization and historic preservation program. Our Association strives to strengthen the economic base by creating a pleasurable shopping experience for residents and visitors and marketing the image of downtown. Since being designated by the Texas Historical Commission, property owners in the Central Business District of Monahans have reinvested over one million dollars in renovations to the historical downtown. We invite you to visit downtown Monahans and the growing number of Gift, Antique, Specialty Shops and Restaurants. For more information on our exciting Main Street program please contact us - 432.943.3418 or send us an email @ monahansmainstreet@yahoo.com.
Design takes advantage of the visual opportunities inherent in downtown by directing attention to all of its physical elements: public and private buildings storefronts, signs, public spaces, landscaping, merchandising, displays and promotional materials. Its aim is to stress the importance of design quality in all of these areas, to educate people about design quality and to expedite improvements in the downtown.
Promotion takes many forms, but the aim is to create a positive image in order to rekindle community pride in the downtown. Promotion seeks to improve retail sales events and festivals and to create a positive public image of the downtown in order to attract investors, developers and new businesses.
Economic Restructuring strengthens downtown's existing economic assets while diversifying its economic base. This is accomplished by retaining and expanding existing businesses to provide a balanced commercial mix; by converting unused or underutilized space into productive property; and by sharpening the competitiveness and merchandising skills of downtown business people.
Organization establishes consensus and cooperation by building partnerships among the various groups that have a stake in downtown. This allows the Main Street revitalization program to provide effective, ongoing management and advocacy of the downtown. Diverse groups from the public and private sectors (city and county governments, local bankers, merchants, the chamber of commerce, property owners, community leaders and others) must work together to create and maintain a successful program.
