Downtown Westfield is one of the 32 main street communities in New Jersey. The Downtown Westfield Corporation uses the Main Street Approach^TM that was developed by the National Trust's National Main Street Center in 1980 to assist downtown revitalization efforts nationwide. Four elements create this program: Organization, Economic Restructuring, Design and Promotion.

Organization involves building a local Main Street organization that is well-represented and funded by local residents, merchants, property owners, civic groups, bankers, public officials, and chambers of commerce. A strong organization provides stability to build and maintain a long-term effort.

Organization meetings are on a as needed basis largely by the DWC staff.
