Downtown Borger has always been more than a collection of buildings — it’s the heart of our community. From the early boomtown days to today, Main Street has been where stories were made, businesses were built, and neighbors connected. Now, as Borger looks ahead to its next century, there is an opportunity for residents, business owners, and community champions to help shape what comes next.
The Borger Main Street Project is a locally driven effort focused on revitalizing and re-energizing downtown while honoring the history and character that make Borger unique. Through thoughtful planning, community engagement, and strategic investment, the project aims to create a vibrant, welcoming Main Street that supports local businesses, attracts visitors, and enhances quality of life for everyone.
But the success of Main Street doesn’t rest on plans alone — it depends on people.
Why Main Street Matters
A strong downtown benefits the entire community. Revitalized Main Street districts are proven to:
Support small and locally owned businesses
Encourage economic growth and job creation
Attract tourism and new investment
Create walkable, welcoming spaces for events and everyday life
Strengthen community pride and identity
The Borger Main Street Project is about more than storefronts and sidewalks — it’s about creating a place where people want to gather, invest, and belong.
How You Can Get Involved
The Main Street Project thrives when community members lend their time, talents, and perspectives. Whether you’re a business owner, student, creative, retiree, or longtime resident, there’s a role for you.
Opportunities to get involved include:
Serving on committees or advisory groups
Assisting with events and downtown activities
Sharing ideas and feedback for future improvements
Supporting local businesses and downtown initiatives
Helping tell the story of Borger through promotion and advocacy
No special experience is required — just a willingness to care about Borger and its future.
A Community-Driven Vision
At its core, the Borger Main Street Project is built on collaboration. It reflects the belief that the people who live and work here know Borger best — and that meaningful progress happens when the community is part of the process.
As Borger prepares to celebrate 100 years, the work happening on Main Street represents both reflection and momentum. It’s about honoring where we’ve been, investing in where we are, and intentionally shaping where we’re going.
