Our Vision
Newkirk Main Street will be a revitalized, inviting, and vibrant historic downtown filled to capacity and serving as the heart of the community, attracting local residents and tourists of all ages. This beautifully restored downtown will offer a balanced mix of attractions, including dining, shopping, art, entertainment, parks, green spaces, and other activities and events in a friendly, safe, and accommodating environment. The integrity and character of the historic residential and commercial district will be a showcase for the region, with revitalized buildings, attractive storefronts, unique shops, and opportunities for people to live, work, shop, worship, and enjoy activities for all ages in Newkirk.
