Design
Place Value enhances the visual appearance, attractiveness and traffic management of the business district. Historic building rehabilitations, street and alley clean-ups, parking and traffic calming issues, colorful banners, landscaping, and lighting all improve the physical beauty of the downtown as a quality place in which to shop, work, walk, invest, and live.

organization
Organization involves getting everyone working toward the same goal. A governing board and standing committees make up the fundamental organizational structure of this volunteer-driven program. This structure not only divides the workload and clearly delineates responsibilities, but also builds consensus and cooperation among the various stakeholders. The Organization Committee plays a key role in keeping the board, committees, staff, and programs-of-work in good shape by attracting people to the organization.
