To ensure that the work of the CDDA represents the wishes of not only the business owners but the residents of the City of Chamblee, CDDA will follow the Main Street Four Point Approach:

Design: Enhancing the physical appearance of the commercial district by rehabilitating historic buildings, encouraging supportive new construction, developing sensitive design management systems, and long-term planning.

Organization: Building consensus and cooperation among the many groups and individuals who have a role in the revitalization process.

Promotion: Marketing the traditional commercial district’s assets to customers, potential investors, newbusinesses, local citizens and visitors.

Economic Restructuring: Strengthening the district’s existing economic base while finding ways to expand it to meet new opportunities — and challenges from outlying development.
