Revitalizing Monticello

There are many reasons for the community to actively encourage the revitalization of our downtown.

An economically healthy downtown:

Builds a positive image for its community. An attractive downtown reflects Monticello's pride in itself and its future.
Creates job opportunities. A revitalized downtown attracts new investors and visitors while strengthening services offered to the local community.
Saves tax dollars. Revitalization stabilizes and improves the area's tax base, and protects the investment already made in downtown infrastructure.
Preserves the communities historic resources. In an economically healthy downtown, property owners can afford to maintain the historic commercial buildings and thus preserve an important part of Jefferson County's heritage.
Helps to control sprawl. Second stories can be converted into condos and luxury apartments, decreasing the need for more housing developments.
