Works in Progress - National Main Streets Conference

The conference theme, “Works in Progress,” reflects optimism in Main Street’s potential to build on cultural and heritage assets to overcome economic challenges, as exemplified by ongoing efforts in Detroit. Along with The National Trust for Historic Preservation, the conference will be co-hosted by the Michigan State Housing Development Authority’s (MSHDA) Michigan Main Street Center. The annual conference brings together practitioners of the National Trust’s proven Main Street Four-Point Approach® to downtown revitalization, which since 1977, has been used by more than 2,000 communities nationwide to stimulate more than 235,000 building rehabilitation projects and create 475,000 jobs.
