Mission & Vision
Mission
Statement
The West Reading Main Street Foundation is a community development
organization created by elected and non-elected leaders of the
community to develop and manage the mechanisms for a prosperous
and competitive business environment. The Foundation will act broadly
within the parameters set by the National Trust for Historic
Preservation's National Main Street Program to:
1) promote a sense
of community and unified purpose,
2) assure the historic
continuity of the community's architectural heritage,
3) improve
the image and perception of the community to residents and visitors
and
4) strengthen economic rejuvenation of property and commerce.
Vision Statement
West Reading's central business district will be occupied by an
effective combination of high quality, niche retail and service
businesses offering distinctive products and accommodating the
desires of discriminating consumers. The District's historic and
commercial buildings will be rehabilitated for mixed use
including upper floor housing. A fully revitalized streetscape
will noticeably increase the desirability to own and operate
properties and businesses and will attract new investors and
entrepreneurs to the community.
