MARK YOUR CALENDARS FOR SEPTEMBER 14-16, 2009
EL DORADO, ARKANSAS
Destination Downtown is an annual tri-state conference open to all Main Street participants from the states of Arkansas, Louisiana, and Mississippi. This year, the host city of Bay Saint Louis, Mississippi will provide an excellent venue for sharing ideas on building sustainable downtown communities. Dedicated board members, executive directors, and volunteers are invited to attend sessions where they can discuss their personal experiences and learn from this year’s expert speakers.
For 25 years the Main Street approach has worked to reverse the dying state of downtowns to the thriving cultural and business centers they once were. We are confident that this year’s conference will inspire everyone who has a stake in their main street, and encourage them to make a difference in their communities.
