COVID-19 forced us to be creative in the ways we support our Main Streets and downtowns as commercial and social centers by moving many indoor activities outside. Outdoor activities work well during the spring and summer but, planning events in winter can be more difficult! Join us as we present some of the innovative ideas submitted as part of Bench Consulting’s Winter Places design competition for quickly implementable, low cost interventions to drive visitors back to Main Street and shop at area restaurants and businesses in the colder months.
