In addition, on November 9, the California State Historical Resources Commission presented a resolution to Leucadia 101 Main Street to recognize our achievement in becoming the most recent California Main Street Community.

The creation of The Leucadia 101 Main Street in 2003 marked the beginning of a Main Street revitalization effort for the North Coast Hwy 101 corridor from Encinitas Blvd to La Costa Blvd. Following the example of the Downtown Encinitas Merchants Association (DEMA), Leucadia 101 plans to work in community partnership with the City of Encinitas, local government agencies, and stakeholders located in Leucadia to revitalize the historic North Hwy 101 corridor.
In addition to the Board of Directors, Leucadia 101 will have four working committees: Organization, Promotion, Design and Economic Development. The committees will follow the general structure of the National Main Street Four Point approach. The committees will develop specific work plans within the first year.
The organization committee promotes membership involvement and builds consensus and cooperation among the many groups and individuals who have a role in the revitalization process.
This committee will develop marketing approaches and special events to draw customers, local citizens, new businesses, and visitors to the commercial area. The committee will develop organizational identity through the use of retail branding and special events designed to increase foot traffic to the corridor.
The Design committee’s goal is to enhance the physical appearance of the North Coast 101 corridor. Objectives of the Design committee will include: Involvement in discussion to repair/correct drainage of water throughout corridor, improvement of parking and pedestrian access, implementation of the Facade Grant program to assist business and property owners with their improvements, and participation in downtown capital projects including the North 101 Corridor Specific Plan, N Coast Hwy 101 Streetscape and other private and/or public projects in the corridor.
This committee’s goal will be is to strengthen the district's economic base while finding ways to expand to meet new opportunities and challenges from outlying developments.
