Harrisonburg Downtown Renaissance will work in partnership with city government and the community to develop a comprehensive vision and master plan to revitalize downtown Harrisonburg into a prosperous and vibrant city center.

HDR's objectives come from the Main Street Four Points approach:

* Economic Development: Strengthen the downtown district’s existing economic base, seek ways to introduce new types of commerce suitable for a downtown venue, and convert underutilized space into productive uses.
* Design: Promote the enhanced physical appearance of the district by capitalizing on its assets, rehabilitating historic buildings, encouraging supportive new construction, and beautifying the street scape.
* Promotion: Market the downtown district’s unique qualities to potential customers, investors, new businesses, local citizens and visitors through effective strategies and special events.
* Organization: Build cooperation and consensus between all stakeholders in an effort to meet our mission and objectives, to strengthen our Main Street program, and to improve the quality of life for the people who live, work and visit in downtown Harrisonburg
