The Economics of Downtown Revitalization: Putting Some “Oomph” Behind the Numbers

Join us on Tuesday, April 18th at 12PM for our next Lunch-n-Learn and put some “oomph” behind the numbers of Downtown Revitalization.

Downtowns and business districts play a vital role in economic development by serving as the commercial heart of our communities. They not only generate revenue and employment opportunities but also enhance the overall quality of life for residents, workers, and visitors alike. The diversity of downtowns provides a wealth of challenges and opportunities, requiring tailored development goals and approaches to maximize their unique attributes and assets.
