Our Approach

Downtown Brookings follows the community revitalization framework championed by Main Street America. Our work has four pillars: Design, Economic Vitality & Connections, Organization, and Promotion. Each pillar has a committee of 5-10 dedicated volunteers, in addition to sub-committees as needed.

  • Design - Sense of Place - enhancing physical and visual assets

  • Economic Vitality & Connections - Sense of Vitality - connecting information and resources, identifying economic opportunities, and creating a supportive environment

  • Organization - Sense of Responsibility - fostering partnerships, encouraging community involvement, and ensuring organizational continuity

  • Promotion - Sense of Community - storytelling, marketing, and events

    • Sub-Committee - Brookings Farmers Market
