Thriving Downtowns

For most of 2021, I had the pleasure of working with a wonderful team of colleagues on a rural downtown revitalization investment playbook, focused on Appalachian communities. It has now been released. It has wonderful case studies of Appalachian communities and their experiences with downtown revitalization investment. It also has a readiness assessment section, focused on helping communities understand what kinds of assets they already have and what kinds they might want to develop to be ready for investment.
