Abstract:The national Main Street movement is building momentum. Over 1,200 small
communities across America have rediscovered their Main Streets with impressive
investment in time, energy and money. The tangible measures of return include:
economic growth in jobs and tax revenues; effective "recycling" of
infrastructure buildings and land; a pleasing landscape environment; and more
efficient transportation networks. Paper provides a brief background on the
Main Street movement and describes design elements and other factors needed to
make MS retrofit projects a success. 6p.
