Communicating Main Street's Value 

Provided by Main Street America

In 2016, Main Street America Coordinating Programs requested a series of messages so local programs and Coordinating Programs can better advocate for their programs. This slide deck brings together messages that are based on several of Main Street’s key attributes (see slide 12 for more about these key attributes ). They are designed to be deployed as you work with many different kinds of audiences, from mayors, to state legislators, to funders to prospective Main Street businesses. The messages contained in this deck are by no means exhaustive –you may find that there are some key attributes of Main Street that are not covered by the messages created below. We encourage you tailor these messages as needed to fit your audience.
