Economic Development: What are Main Streets, and Who is Supported?

The Tidbit

Main Street Programs aim to revitalize their downtowns and commercial districts through preservation-based economic development and community revitalization. On this episode, we debunk the myth that Main Streets are dead. We’re joined in-studio by a group of incredible individuals who are in the fight to keep Main Streets alive — especially here in the District! — and how they’re adapting to the change in market forces and consumer demands. We have Kyle Todd and Jessica Mailander of Rhode Island Avenue Main Street, and Aster Abeje, Owner of 7 Days Market located on Rhode Island Avenue NE. Powered and distributed by Simplecast
