Preserve America Community |
 |
On January 25, 2008,
First Lady Laura Bush
designated Cape
Girardeau as one of
the newest Preserve
America Communities.
Preserve America
is a White House initiative
developed in
cooperation with the
Advisory Council on
Historic Preservation
(ACHP) and the U.S.
Departments of the
Interior, Agriculture,
and other agencies.
This program
recognizes and
designates communities
that protect and celebrate their
heritage, use their
historic assets for
economic development and community
revitalization, and
encourage people to
experience and
appreciate local
historic resources
through education and
heritage tourism
programs.

Take the hassle out of shopping for that
special someone and get them Downtown Dollars. Downtown

purchase that warm cup of hot chocolate or that new big screen
TV you know they've been wanting.
Available at the Old Town Cape office,
located at 418 Broadway. If you have any questions, please
feel free to call us at (573) 334-8085 or

Why shop Main Street??? |
|
Attentive customer
service, their unique
merchandise, and the
special atmosphere of
their stores, as
opposed to the
cookie-cutter retail
chains that all seem
to sell the same
thing.
Shopping on Main
Street means finding
merchandise that is
infused with local
heritage and can’t be
found anywhere else.
It’s about making a
connection. It’s also
about keeping the
entrepreneurial spirit
alive and helping
local businesses
compete against Big
Box retailers and
other large retail
institutions.

Are YOU
a piece of the puzzle? |
|
 Old
Town Cape is often recognized (and judged) by our
events. And the Board of Directors and volunteers are
all extremely proud
of these events. But these events are just a piece of
the puzzle.
The
Old Town Cape District includes 130 blocks, more than
300 businesses and more than 9,000 residents. We
work in many ways to make the Old Town Cape District a
better place to do business, own property, and to live
work and play.

the State of Missouri. As a DREAM community, we are
working with the State of Missouri and Peckham Guyton

help shape the future redevelopment and growth of our
historic downtown.
