MYTHS
Historic preservation OR progress • Historic buildings don’t have broad economic value
• Neglected buildings have no future
• Preservation protections are impediments
Downtown OR the mall/supercenter
Mom-and-pop business OR substantial
economic development • Shoppers want convenience; won’t support small
business

Abandonment, neglect, modification.
•Merchant competitiveness. No ‘group mentality’.
•Economic value of ‘everyday’ commercial
structures. Lack of understanding.
•No concentrated field for commercial
revitalization.
•No centralized or organized efforts.
•No widespread interest to do anything.

Waxahachie Main Street Program 10 year study of private return on investment in response to local
government’s prioritization of downtown.
2002-2012: First 10 years, more than $100 million reinvested downtown.
Almost 79 percent was public investment: infrastructure upgrades,
construction of county buildings, public parking garage, and depot restoration.
2013: publicly funded projects completed. Private sector responding. Public
spending was minimal; private investment was more than $1.6 million.
2014: public sector reinvestment is dwarfed by the private sector. $3.3 million
private investment. $100,000 of publicly funded projects.
Through leadership demonstration of belief in downtown & by making
revitalization a policy priority in the early years, local government improved
market capacity and spurred private interest.
