Standing Committees
The Bastrop Main Street Program is an all-volunteer army that accomplishes its work through four standing committees (with a volunteer advisory board assisting in coordination). Each of the four committees meets monthly to advance the program in accordance with the annually updated strategic plan, and each committee welcomes new members. Come to a meeting, observe, and join a committee that speaks to your interests!
