Announcing CMAS' First Commercial Revitalization Planning Guide
Comprehensive Commercial Corridor Revitalization Guide With so many local organizations and government groups working to revitalize and develop neighborhood commercial districts, LISC has published a resource dedicated to helping communities plan and implement commercial corridor revitalization programs. Commercial corridor managers, economic development officials, chambers of commerce, and BIDs can add the Commercial Markets Advisory Service’s “Commercial Revitalization Planning Guide” to their revitalization toolkit. The Guide is filled with detailed direction that will provide practitioners with a starting point for strategic, comprehensive planning. It takes the reader through each stage of revitalization from planning, research, and visioning to understanding the potential of the community, analyzing the business mix, marketing the assets, and implementing the work plan. The planning guide also provides a set of practical tools to assist in implementation.
