How do you take a blighted area, engage the public, create a master plan, gather partners, secure financing, obtain the necessary permits, design, construct and then market and promote a newly revitalized waterfront and community?
First, you learn the best practices and lessons learned from those who have already made it all or part way through the process.
Join fellow communities and explore case studies, approaches and solutions from real projects and the pioneers leading the revitalization of these important assets.
