Main Street Alabama Workshop, January 15

Join us for lunch and learn how the new statewide Main Street is a program that brings jobs, dollars and people to small towns or commercial districts. By leveraging private investment and capitalizing on the the unique appeal of historic downtowns, this model is one of the most successful economic revitalization strategies in the country.

During this session, Mary Helmer, the Main Street Alabama State Coordinator, will introduce the new Main Street Alabama organization and discuss how it can help your community in four core areas:

• Broad-based public-private community financial and volunteer support;

• Economic restructuring to align with current market opportunities;

• Design that capitalizes on distinctive historic character; and

• Promotion that uses community character and identity for marketplace differentiation to attract businesses, tourists, and shoppers.
