The Main Street Bedford Project is an effort to use our past for the benefit of the present and future generations using a comprehensive four-point Main Street approach:

-ORGANIZATION: Organization means building consensus and cooperation between all groups and individuals that play a part in the community. Organization creates the foundation for an effective volunteer-driven program.
-BUSINESS IMPROVEMENT: Business Improvement means working to strengthen the existing economic base of the community, diversifying retail mix, and finding new uses for vacant or under-utilized buildings.
-PROMOTION: Promotion involves marketing Bedford's unique characteristics to shoppers, investors, new businesses, tourists, and others. This marketing includes retail, image and other special events.
-DESIGN: Design contributes to improving Bedford's image by enhancing its physical appearance to convey a positive image of what the community has to offer.
