Webinar recorded February 26, 2016.
Hear from five economic development experts as they explain how to craft and implement a commercial revitalization plan that inspires potential investors to take a different view of disinvested markets in a way that is both aspirational yet grounded in market realities.
Listen to stories and lessons learned from

• Philadelphia’s Fishtown community where our speakers and their partners encountered gaps in the retail experience along East Girard Avenue; and
• in the City of Mesa, Arizona, where they worked with community leaders to reposition businesses to address market changes spurred by development around a new light rail station.

Sandy Salzman, Executive Director of the New Kensington CDC
Larisa Ortiz, MetroEdge Consultant on New Kensington
Terry Benelli, Executive Director of LISC Phoenix
