<DIV apple-content-edited="true">"How to Bring Your Downtown to Life" is an interactive webinar brought to you by Destination Development International. Every downtown should be a hub of activity for both locals and visitors. And when it comes to visitors, if you don’t hang out in your downtown neither will they. They go where you go. The most successful downtowns encourage, and often pay, buskers, street performers, artisans and vendors to bring life to downtowns. Attendees will get sample “codes of conduct” and a wealth of information that will help you bring your downtown to life. Oregon Main Street Network communities are eligible for a 25% discount - use the promo code, OR13WEBINAR when you register.
