Revitalizing America’s Smaller Legacy Cities: Tools for Local Leaders Webinar

Wednesday, June 20th –  1:00 pm – 2:00 pm

Smaller legacy cities – older industrial communities with about 30,000 to 200,000 residents – are undergoing significant transformations as they adapt to twenty-first-century economic realities.  Revitalizing America’s Smaller Legacy Cities, a report from Greater Ohio Policy Center and the Lincoln Institute of Land Policy, documents the unique challenges and opportunities facing these communities as they seek to revitalize and thrive. Eight strategies for small city urban revitalization emerged from that report, and this toolkit is meant to provide additional resources to practitioners working on the ground to implement them.
This webinar will prove useful for individuals in community organizations, local government, community lending, philanthropy or anyone else who is interested in urban revitalization in small legacy cities.
