The Community Revitalization Academy (CRA) is a series of five workshops designed to provide first-year Main Street managers, Elm Street managers, and other interested revitalization professionals with intermediate-level instruction based on the Main Street Approach of the National Trust for Historic Preservation's Main Street Program and the Five-Point Approach of the Pennsylvania Elm Street Program. While these two programs have slight variations in the nomenclature and certain program activities, there is a high degree of consistency in the training required to effectively and efficiently implement these programs. Please email billarrowood@padowntown.org if you would like more information on the CRAs and emmahudson@padowntown.org if you have an issue with registration/attendance. We hope to see you there.
The May CRA will focus on Asset Enhancement: The “Asset Enhancement” Academy, a combination of the economic vitality function of Main Street and neighbors and economy function of Elm Street, deals with the economic and social components of this triple-bottom line. The course will also explore how to link your community’s vision with your economic development strategy. Vacant lots, real estate, and social service organizations are other areas of concentration during this course. This session will take place over two mornings and be virtual.
