Still Starbucks-Free: Rural Main Streets—Small towns need vitality, too!

Speakers: Kathy Callies, Acting President, Rural Learning Center; Dennis (Denny) Ross, Mayor, City of Maupin, OR; JoAnne Bush, Mayor, City of Lake Village, AR; Chris Beck, Senior Projects Advisor, U.S.D.A.-Rural Development

Given the global economy's demand for greater economic efficiencies (fewer small farmers) and environmentally sound natural resource practices (less extraction), many rural communities are facing a dramatic shift in the economic opportunities available to them. Starbucks may not be coming any time soon, but rural leaders understand that creating great places to live and work is an essential ingredient to their economic future and have requested USDA funding for strategic, place-based investments. This session focuses on three case studies: a new meeting center in Howard, South Dakota, a revived market in Maupin, Oregon, and a historic renovation in Lake Village, Arkansas.

Area-Wide Planning: Innovations at the State, Local, and Federal Level

Speakers: Elizabeth Schilling, Policy Manager, Smart Growth America

The area-wide approach is a unique strategy aimed at revitalizing brownfields-impacted neighborhoods through a community-centered, collaborative planning process. The process focuses not only on planning, but also on creating a framework for implementation that draws on public, private, and community partnerships, and supports a more strategic use of state/federal brownfields funds for neighborhood development.
