This issue explores the success story of The Elgin Tower, an Art Deco landmark in Elgin, Ill., that shows how preservation as a strong community value goes a long way in protecting local heritage and supporting revitalization.
This issue has additional installments of our streetscape series, focusing this month on the planning phase before construction starts; and Margie Johnson’s Shop Talk column, which discusses the importance of listening to employees as well as customers.
Find out how to combine historic preservation with economic development in your commercial district during this intensive, four-day training, which covers each of the four components of Main Street Four Point Approach™.
The National Trust for Historic Preservation has created three online donations pages if you want to contribute to the rebuilding efforts of the flooded Main Street programs in Iowa, Wisconsin and Missouri.
The cumulative success of the Main Street Approach™ and Main Street programs on the local level has earned a reputation as one of the most powerful economic development tools in the nation.
