Statements of Purpose -- Vision, Mission and Core Values -- should be relevant to community conditions and to the local Main Street program’s organizational stage. These statements guide your work as they lead everyone together toward agreed upon goals. Every effective organization articulates its purpose. Your Statements of Purpose should be unique in that they describe how your downtown is unique unlike any other, your legacy, your heritage, your attributes, your progress etc. (let's get rid of downtown being 'a great place to live, work and play'...!) When reviewing your statements think about how they drive your work; and how they describe your downtown and your program. Can they describe only your downtown and not the one down the road?
