Community Check-In: Alberta Main Street Progress Report
As Alberta Main Street approaches the end of year one, it’s time to check in. A team of experts will be in Portland June 21 – 23 in what the National Main Street program calls a Resource Team Visit. The visit will conclude with a public presentation on Thursday, June 23, 2011.
The Resource Team will conduct a series of focus groups and interviews, listening to community stakeholder’s comments on the program’s progress. The team has two jobs:
- Work to develop general and specific recommendations for action in a written report. The team’s report will take approximately 8 weeks to complete and is designed to help us develop a 12-24 month implementation strategy.
- Make a candid assessment of the opportunities and issues affecting the Alberta Main Street program through an intensive listening process while in the community.
On Thursday June 23 at 6:30PM, the resource team will preview their findings at a public presentation. Everyone is welcome and encouraged to attend!
