Vision Statement
Pilot Point retains the viability, the structural design and the values of an historic small Texas town, while reaping the advantages of its proximity to the Dallas - Fort Worth Metroplex.
Pilot Point sustains the essential elements of small town living by preserving and celebrating its past, revitalizing its existing structures and, at the same time, fostering an environment of entrepreneurialism.
Pilot Point succeeds through pragmatic historic preservation, rigorous zoning and code enforcement, ingenious marketing and resourceful financial engineering.
Pilot Point thinks bigger than its physical size. We promote and safeguard our surrounding horse industry, encourage the conscientious use of our lake and, most of all, preserve and revitalize our historic town square and surrounding district.
Pilot Point protects and cultivates an incomparable sense of place, our most treasured asset.
With this vision Pilot Point is a wonderful home for current residents, an appealing alternative for future inhabitants and distinctive destination for visitors.
Mission Statement
The Pilot Point Main Street Program will use the 4-point approach to revitalization (organization, promotion, design, and economic vitality) to encourage reinvestment and preservation of the historic downtown area.
