Catalyst Projects Yield Extraordinary Results for Downtowns, Main Street Now, Seattle, Washington (March 25-27, 2019)
Downtown organizations with a strategic plan, market data, and transformation strategies in place can confidently tackle even the most intractable downtown problems. In this session, you’ll hear from three Pennsylvania and New Jersey Main Street organizations that are confronting seemingly impossible downtown projects they could never have contemplated even three years ago without all of this compelling data. The panel members will highlight three recently completed transformational projects, including an $850,000 pocket park initiative, five new or expanded food-based businesses, and a series of retail promotions that generated more than $500,000 in new sales at local stores in the last year.
