Main St Enid put out the following press release:
– Main Street America will be visiting Downtown Enid on
August 29th and 30th to help Main Street Enid determine Transformation Strategies. MSA will evaluate the
Downtown community and use what they find to help Main Street Enid with a strategic plan that will help the
district continue to grow over the next few years. A Transformation Strategy is a comprehensive strategy
that guides the direction of the revitalization initiative and, over time, transforms the district.
Main Street Enid Director, Natalie Rapp says “As our program approaches its 30th year, we are excited to
take the next step in continuing the growth of our district and determining transformative strategies that will
provide revitalization and improved quality of life for all. We look forward to strengthening our program so we
can continue to serve our community for another 30 years.”
In preparation for Main Street America’s visit, Main Street Enid is gathering input via an online survey about
Downtown Enid. The results of this survey will inform planning for future development and improvements. All
Enid community members and those in the surrounding area are encouraged to complete this survey. To
take the survey, visit MainStreetEnid.org. The survey will close on August 18, 2023.
“It’s extremely important that we hear from all demographics within Enid and the surrounding area. This will
allow us to have a full representation of our community and the results will help better our initiatives and
understand the true needs of those who make up Enid as a whole.” Rapp says.
Main Street Enid, Inc. is committed to preserving and developing our downtown district through diverse
partnerships as we enhance the quality of life in our destination community. Enid became a Main Street
community in 1994 and has been recognized locally, statewide and nationally as one of the premier
programs in the country. Property owners, business owners, professionals, and volunteers serve on the
board of directors and on various committees addressing issues such as facade improvements, special
events, fundraising, networking and resource sharing. To date, more than 67 million dollars in private
reinvestment have been spent on downtown improvements since 1994.
