[OMS_MANAGERS] Small-Scale Manufacturing in Downtowns (and an explanation of healthy downtowns)

[Manvel, Evan]

For those interested in the possibilities of small-scale manufacturing (from coffee roasters to textiles shops), particularly in downtowns….

In December, Ilana Preuss from Recast City visited Oregon. She gave several talks throughout Southern Oregon, including one in Grants Pass.

The City of Grants Pass collected resources from that workshop, for those who missed it. They are here:

A 38-minute video of her Grants Pass talk is here:

An eight-minute excerpt on Preuss’s four principles of healthy downtowns, and how well-designed downtowns provide various benefits:

The visit was funded by an Oregon Transportation and Growth Management Education and Outreach project. More on those:
