Volunteer

Volunteering is a great way to meet your neighbors and ensure the continual improvement of Downtown Batavia. Contact the Batavia MainStreet for additional information or come to one of our meetings.

The Batavia MainStreet Program is comprised of four main committees - which one interests you?

Design
The Design Committee works on enhancing the look and feel of downtown. Previously, that committee worked on the renovation of the Thomle Building, which earned both MainStreet and the city redevelopment honors. The Design Committee inventoried all downtown buildings five years ago, noting their history and current uses. Now that inventory is being used by Batavia's new Historical Preservation Committee to create a downtown historical district.

Promotion
The Promotion Committee helps organize community events such as BatFest and Shakespeare on Clarke.

Organization
The Organization Committee takes care of such duties as publishing the organization's newsletter, maintaining the website and overseeing membership growth.

Economic Restructuring
The Economic Restructuring Committee is looking at "branding" Batavia's downtown, hoping to discover and enhance the city's niche in the surrounding community.
