In conjunction with the National Main Streets Conference, economic positioning staff from around the country convene to share strategies on how to boost their services for local Main Street programs. This year’s meetings included a tour of Atlanta’s inspiring Ponce City Market, a mixed-use project that is rehabilitating the 1926 Sears distributions center, right on the 22-mile Atlanta Beltline. Under construction is 2.1 million square feet of boutiques, offices, restaurants, a central artisan food market, and residential flats. Be sure to put it on the must-see itinerary for your return visit to Atlanta!
