"In the world of commercial area revitalization, the subject most often talked about and less often acted upon is business recruitment. If a commercial area lacks sufficient commercial enterprises, then it is to that degree not a center of commerce at all, a sad place indeed. David Milder has produced a work such that no Downtown activist will any longer have the excuse that the subject is muddy, confusing, impenetrable; here is the comprehensive source. From costs to cautions, from messages to media, Milder lays out the practical steps to enable Business Improvement Districts and others to fill commercial space with winning tenants. Should be on the desk of every self styled economic development professional." Lawrence O. Houstoun The Atlantic Group The Preview Download is the first 15 pages of the book.
"For so long we were floundering and taking ad hoc measures, but the minute I understood what a downtown plan really was I said 'We need one of those!' As it turned out, it was the most fantastic vehicle I've ever seen," said Susan Moffat-Thomas of New Bern, North Carolina. Her hometown got a much-needed shot in the arm from a good downtown plan. Does yours need a similar boost? The Author, an experienced downtown-planning consultant, offers practical tips for preserving a sense of place, improving fiscal efficiency, and enhancing quality of life in Downtown Planning for Smaller and Midsized Communities. Planners and revitalization officials will learn how to address physical components of the downtown, as well as economic development. The Author, an experienced downtown-planning consultant, also explains how to develop an organization to implement a downtown plan; how federal, state, and local policies may influence the planning process; and how to fund a downtown revitalization effort.
This report, which was commissioned by Preservation Virginia and funded by the Virginia Department of Housing and Community Development, documents the economic impacts of the Virginia Main Street Program, an approach to downtown revitalization that pursues economic development within the context of historic preservation. The Virginia Main Street program is one of 39 statewide Main Street coordinating programs in operation as of 2015, serving over 1,000 local Main Street communities in the United States.
This collection evaluates the various strategies that different cities have used when attempting to economically revitalize downtown areas.
Resilient Downtowns provides a guide to communities in reviving and redeveloping their core districts into resilient, thriving neighborhoods. While the National Main Street program’s four-point approach of organization, promotion, economic restructuring, and design has been standard practice for cities seeking to rejuvenate their downtowns for decades there is disquiet among downtown managers and civic leaders about the versatility of the program. Resilient Downtowns provides communities with the "en-RICHED" approach, a four-step process for downtown development, which focuses on residential development, immigration strategies, civic functionality, heritage tourism, and good design practice. Examples from fourteen small cities across the US show how this process can revitalize downtowns in any city.
