Webinar: Entrepreneurial Ecosystems and the Role of Commercial Districts
Monday, October 17th
2pm CT/3pm ET
Small and entrepreneurial businesses are vital to the revitalization of downtowns and neighborhood business districts. New businesses, especially those by millennials and other fresh, active minds, will bring new ideas, new innovations, new excitement, and new jobs to communities across the country. Our traditional, historic business districts provide the opportunity to shop and buy from independent, unique and locally-owned, businesses, which is at the very fabric of experiential shopping desired by consumers. Join the National Main Street Center’s Vice President Matt Wagner as he examines entrepreneurial ecosystems and the role commercial districts play in their creation, support, and expansion.
