Main Street Vision Statement

We envision a revitalized downtown Easton that, drawing on its unique and genuine sense of place, fosters economic opportunity, creative endeavors, and community vitality.

We envision a downtown Easton that enhances the quality of life for residents and visitors alike by offering a safe, clean, and green setting and by providing a comfortable and attractive environment of accessible, pedestrian friendly streets, outstanding public spaces and inviting natural beauty along the confluence of two rivers.

We envision a downtown Easton that protects, preserves, and promotes its heritage, historic assets, and wealth of fine architecture for the active enjoyment of current and future generations, and offers educational opportunities and enrichment to people of all ages, abilities, and backgrounds.

We envision a downtown Easton that is conducive to business enterprises, employment opportunities and stores that offer special and distinctive merchandise with a personal touch that creates a pleasant shopping experience.

We envision a downtown Easton that celebrates and shares its ever evolving ethnic and cultural diversity by providing a vibrant urban setting for cultural experiences, diverse dining, the arts, entertainment, community festivals, tourism, and quality residential living.

Our vision is achieved and maintained through a strong public-private partnership among local government, businesses, educational institutions, non-profit community based organizations, and the residents of Easton. This partnership is devoted to constantly working together to make downtown Easton an attraction, an asset, and a success as both a business district and thriving neighborhood.
