The NCREDC Placemaking Work Group invites you to attend the North Country Placemaking Summit. This event will inspire and educate community leaders, community planners and other interested parties (economic developers, business owners, land developers, etc.) on best practices in placemaking and successful programs implemented in various communities throughout the North Country. By providing a networking and learning experience we hope to generate new ideas for communities throughout the North Country and encourage them to take the next steps in creating vibrant and thriving downtowns.

The program will begin with an introduction to Placemaking and will continue with live examples of development success stories from around the region. Panel discussions will include:

How We Built This: Learn how Clayton has worked collaboratively toward becoming a premier North Country community

The Path to DRI Success: Communities will share how they prepared and positioned themselves for a successful Downtown Revitalization Initiative application

Creative Placemaking: Utilizing State and Federal Programs to Better Your Community Core - panelists will discuss successful programs implemented in development efforts across the region
