How does that old saying go? “They go together like sinks and doorknobs,” or something?

The City of Centralia is inviting all residents, students, businesses, and property owners to help shape the future of Main Street by participating in a brief community survey, now open through Monday, September 9, 2025.

The survey consists of 16 short questions and takes less than 10 minutes to complete. Public feedback will help shape a roadmap for future investments and public-private partnerships, including:
• A preferred streetscape design for Main Street
• A design concept for a visual gateway to Centralia College
• Strategies for economic development and mixed-use housing
• And more

The City encourages everyone who lives, works, shops, studies, or travels through Centralia to participate. Thank you!

At the CDA, we believe Main Streets are for everyone. At the core of our approach to revitalization is a commitment to creating places of shared prosperity, equal access to opportunity, and inclusive engagement.

A broad constituency of stakeholders — including residents, visitors, entrepreneurs and customers — produce a thriving Main Street district. As centers of economic and social opportunity, commercial districts impact the health and prosperity of all stakeholders, and thus they should be reflected of and in service to ALL members of the community.

To fulfill our mission, we must recognize inequity and embrace change. The Main Street Approach, with its emphasis on community engagement as a core element of district strategy, can offer a path forward. But creating places of shared prosperity, equal access, and inclusive engagement requires sustained commitment to education and action.

Everyone who is part of the Main Street movement can take an active role in shaping an inclusive future. No matter your background or experience, embracing change can create discomfort. Educating yourself and creating conversations around these important topics is essential.
