Rogers City Main Street/DDA

Rogers City Main Street is about bringing together a community to foster positive change and a vibrant downtown with careful consideration for historical preservation and cultural celebration with the goal of revitalizing our downtown.

Our Mission

The DDA seeks to correct and prevent deterioration in the downtown business district, to encourage historic preservation, and to promote the economic growth of the DDA.

​Our Four Point Approach

Main Street follows the Four Point Approach to guide our transformation process.

Economic Vitality focuses on capital, incentives, and other economic and financial tools to assist new and existing businesses, catalyze property development, and create a supportive environment for entrepreneurs and innovators that drive local economies.

Design supports a community's transformation by enhancing the physical and visual assets that set the commercial district apart.

Promotion positions the downtown or commercial district as the center of the community and hub of economic activity, while creating a positive image that showcases a community's unique characteristics.

Organization involves creating a strong foundation for a sustainable revitalization effort, including cultivating partnerships, community involvement, and resources for the district.

Volunteer

We need volunteers to assist with the numerous projects in the works for our city. If you would like to serve an active role in the process of planning and executing our goals, contact Executive Director Kaelie Fessler at rcmainstreet@rogerscity.com or 989-734-0281.

Donate

Many of our projects would not be possible without the generous contribution of our donors. If you would like to financially contribute to our efforts to revitalize Rogers City, drop off or mail donations addressed to Rogers City Main Street/DDA to City Hall (193 E Michigan Ave) or the Main Street office (124 S Third St).
