Wayfinding signs are standardized and updated annually. A number of Main Street Events hold their own logos consistent with the VBMS branding colors.

The Economic Restructuring Committee through the years has worked our way to being able to offer our program area merchants learning opportunities. Many county grants have allowed us to improve the Town Center infrastructure such as the docks, streetscapes, storm water improvements and underground utilities. We continue to solicit more residential and retail shops for the Town Center and are now supporting the development of two new hotels in the Town Center while trying to preserve the historic character of the community.
