Main Streets

We work with municipal governments, Business Improvement Districts and chambers of commerce to strategically transform your Main Street community through placemaking, economic development, marketing, and grant writing. A data-driven and participatory planning process, together, enable us to make informed decisions that simultaneously support the needs of all community members including residents, the local business community and visitors alike.

 

The culmination of our work creates dynamic, inviting, and business-supported Main Streets that become the “go-to” destination within their local region, inspiring a built environment that is attractive as it is functional. 

 

We strongly believe in Main Streets and understand that these critical urban ecosystems should function as a community, or regional, centerpiece. Our curated plans create vibrant and activated downtown environments while strengthening interconnectivity between surrounding communities and beyond to generate additional foot traffic and drive local business while fostering a sense of community.
