This cost-effective, technical assistance program features a preparatory period to compile and analyze market data and local preferences, developing tools, surveys, reports, and recommendations previously developed, engaging stakeholders and business owners, and strategically identify team of DCI staff, consultants, and downtown professionals that visit communities statewide in two-day assessments to provide a user-friendly work-plan for downtowns to capitalize on their resources, and ignite excitement for downtown revitalization efforts. This sustainable partnership continues following the visit and includes planning for a one month follow up meeting, and two follow up visits including the facilitation of a Community Activation Meeting that keeps the momentum going for your community's downtown revitalization initiatives.
