Ponca City Main Street

About Ponca City Main Street Program

​Our VISION - Cultivate a vibrant downtown Ponca City by activating vacant and underutilized spaces, supporting local businesses, and fostering a welcoming environment for all residents and visitors.

Our MISSION - To serve Ponca City and its citizens by promoting quality of life through efforts focused toward economic growth, historical preservation, cultural development and revitalization of the downtown and surrounding area.

Our APPROACH - The Main Street approach is a comprehensive revitalization process that focuses on all aspects of a commercial district. It successfully integrates a practical management strategy with the physical improvement, addition of and preservation of buildings and public spaces, aggressive promotion and image building and the economic development of the area. The approach is incremental in nature fostering the long-term management of change and growth. It also builds relationships through volunteerism and a sense of ownership of the area within the community.
 
Our ORGANIZATION - The Ponca City Main Street Organization is composed of two staff members, the Executive Director and Assistant Director. Both positions are hired by a volunteer Board of Directors. The Director is responsible for coordinating, facilitating, advocating and communicating the image and vision of the central business district. The volunteer board is nominated by the executive committee and voted on by the current Board of Directors. The board meets monthly under the Oklahoma Open Meeting Act, sets policy and supervises the Director and four standing committees.

​The Four Points of Main Street

Our transformation strategies are Placemaking and Business Recruitment & Retention​

​Ponca City Main Street follows the nationally successful Main Street Approach which is centered around Transformation Strategies. A Transformation Strategy articulates a focused, deliberate path to revitalizing or strengthening a downtown or commercial district’s economy.  A program’s work on Transformation Strategies should be organized around the Four Points: Economic Vitality, Design, Promotion, and Organization.  Each of these four points are represented by a working committee.

ORGANIZATION
Provides communication, volunteer and leadership development and community outreach. Assists with fundraising to attract and retain membership to provide a financial support base for the programs and its goal of creating a viable, progressive and attractive downtown.

DESIGN
Improves the physical and visual structure and image of the downtown core area. Provides consultation and guidance on all architectural and historic preservation projects needed.

PROMOTIONS
Promotes special events and activities to enhance image, retail development, and to develop community spirit and pride for all citizens.

ECONOMIC VITALITY
Assists business owners and professionals in the area of economic development by maintaining and improving the vitality and marketability of the area. Promotes the district as a relocation and expansion site for prospective businesses.
