Ponca City Main Street

​Our VISION - Cultivate a vibrant downtown Ponca City by activating vacant and underutilized spaces, supporting local businesses, and fostering a welcoming environment for all residents and visitors.

Our MISSION - To serve Ponca City and its citizens by promoting quality of life through efforts focused toward economic growth, historical preservation, cultural development and revitalization of the downtown and surrounding area.

Our APPROACH - The Main Street approach is a comprehensive revitalization process that focuses on all aspects of a commercial district. It successfully integrates a practical management strategy with the physical improvement, addition of and preservation of buildings and public spaces, aggressive promotion and image building and the economic development of the area. The approach is incremental in nature fostering the long-term management of change and growth. It also builds relationships through volunteerism and a sense of ownership of the area within the community.
 
Our ORGANIZATION - The Ponca City Main Street Organization is composed of two staff members, the Executive Director and Assistant Director. Both positions are hired by a volunteer Board of Directors. The Director is responsible for coordinating, facilitating, advocating and communicating the image and vision of the central business district. The volunteer board is nominated by the executive committee and voted on by the current Board of Directors. The board meets monthly under the Oklahoma Open Meeting Act, sets policy and supervises the Director and four standing committees.
