About Waterville Main Street

The Mission of Waterville Main Street (WMSt)

Waterville Main Street will advance efforts to develop the Downtown area into a thriving, energetic, commercial, social, cultural and entertainment destination.

The Main Street 4-Point Approach

The Main Street approach to downtown revitalization is a comprehensive, incremental approach that seeks to develop programs and projects in four specific areas: Organization, Design, Economic Restructuring, and Promotion.

WMSt is also committed to convening groups of people interested in pursuing special initiatives that may not fall neatly under one of these four areas. WMSt's special initiatives currently include the Waterville Wireless Project and the Community Arts Initiative.
