The mission of the Buzzards Bay Village Association is the rehabilitation of Main Street/Buzzards Bay area as a viable and visible center for business growth, job creation and maintenance, housing, local and regional transportation, cultural, historical, social and recreation center for both residents of the Town of Bourne and visitors and tourists.

The Main Street area has suffered from many years of neglect, a lack of business and public investment and two public policy decisions designed to ease and expedite traffic access through the village to neighborhood communities. Efforts to stem its decline or to restore its vitality have been only partly successful as they failed to deal with the pressing need on systemic basis reflecting smart growth and contemporary village-growth development disciplines.
