Join your nearby Virginia Main Street partners for the next Regional Rev Ups, coming April 17 to Warrenton, April 18 to Marion, and April 19 to South Boston. Our topic for this Rev Up will be Opportunity Analysis: Economic Vitality.

Data is typically the driver in most opportunity analysis.  However, we often underestimate the importance of examining the current state of downtown through the lens of existing business niches, non-traditional traffic generators and underutilized spaces.

With an eye toward being a keen observer, this workshop will walk participants through an opportunity analysis process by focusing on market data understanding and a walk-through of the host Rev Up commercial district.  Particular focus will be those opportunities that align with your transformation strategies and goals and target specific economic vitality-driven projects.

Join us for this half-day workshop that will be educational, inspiring and entertaining! Matt Wagner from the National Main Street Center will lead the discussion and tour. Matt serves as Vice President of Revitalization Programs at the NMSC. In this role, he is responsible for driving the Center’s field service initiatives, including the development and delivery of technical services for downtown and commercial corridor programs across the U.S.

Registration is free. Lunch will cost $15 and is only payable by cash on site at the event. Registration for each Rev Up session closes one week prior to the event, so click here to register now to reserve your spot!

NOTE: There will be a walking tour as part of this workshop, so please wear comfortable shoes.

Thank you to our Regional Rev Up partner!
