Elkins Main Street
Elkins’ central business district has benefitted from a downtown revitalization program that follows the National Main Street Center’s community-based approach to preservation and development. We encourage local businesses to join the Elkins Randolph County Chamber; all businesses in Elkins are considered a member, as joining the Chamber is free. The Chamber also hosts regularly scheduled events that are education and offer new opportunities to network with the city’s business community.
Project Details
The West Virginia Development Office’s staff has provided training, technical assistance, and ongoing support to designated West Virginia communities in implementing Transformation Strategies using the Main Street Four Point Approach. This comprehensive method uses local and regional market data and meaningful community engagement to assist communities in getting started with revitalization.
One of Elkins’ key initiatives is working toward implementation of the Elkins Streetscape Vision, a 2016 document laying out recommendations for improving the streetscape, or visual identity, of downtown.
