Join us for a special free ½ day workshop on the Main Street Four-Point Refresh, Friday, July 14, 8 a.m. to noon, at the Pendleton Center for the Arts. Our speaker is Kathy La Plante with the National Main Street Center. The refreshed Main Street Approach is a common-sense, strategy driven framework that guides community based revitalization efforts. Building off three-decades of success, this updated model harnesses the social, economic, physical, and cultural assets that set a place apart, and ultimately leads to tangible outcomes that benefit the entire community.
