Workshop: Downtowns in the Future
What’s next for downtown?  Effective downtown management requires anticipating the future and adjusting to change.  How will downtowns adapt to future social, economic, and cultural matters?  What tools are available for organizations to use to help alter the landscape of downtowns as we move ahead? Join us in beautiful downtown Grand Ledge, at the historic Grand Ledge Opera House, as we explore what the future looks like for Michigan downtowns.

An in-person and virtual attendance option is available.  Please proceed through the registration process for more information. The cost for in-person and virtual registration is the same. You can change your registration to virtual through March 3 but we do appreciate an accurate in-person count for food service purposes.

Based upon feedback we received, we are improving the virtual experience!  One link will be given to each registered person and improved on-site facilities and equipment are in place!

The Future of Retail
MEDC Community Development Programs
Shared Bike Programs for Downtowns
