Economic Restructuring
|
Through the Main Street approach, Economic
Restructuring focuses on strengthening
the existing economic base while diversifying it. Our economic
restructuring goals are to help Uptown businesses expand, recruit
new businesses to augment the existing business base, convert
unused space into productive properties, and sharpen the competitiveness
of Uptown merchants. By strengthening the Uptown's economy, communities are able to support ongoing use of historic commercial buildings, preserving unique community assets. The comprehensive nature of Main Street's approach is the key to its success. By integrating the four areas into a practical management strategy, the Main Street approach produces fundamental changes in the economic base, putting historic commercial buildings to productive use again. To achieve the goals of economic restructuring, Mainstreet Uptown Butte maintains a business directory and a property database to help prospective businesses identify and contact property owners. Available properties from this database are featured in our available properties area. For questions about locating a business in Uptown Butte or helping to achieve the goal of a prosperous Uptown economy, contact George Everett at (406) 497-6464 or send e-mail to geverett@mainstreetbutte.org. |
