Join us September 29 - October 1, 2010 in the beautiful, vibrant city of Augusta for three days and experience a whirlwind of great ideas, inspiring speakers, innovative solutions, and leaders who are involved in historic preservation-based economic development. Preservation-based economic development is not only essential to the success of Main Street; it is connected to issues consistently in the national spotlight – sustainability; smart growth; local fiscal investment and job creation.  

This year’s theme, Downtowns at Work: Building Jobs and Preserving Places, captures our message of downtown development equals economic development. We will celebrate the 30th Anniversary of the Georgia Main Street Program and the Main Street Four Point Approach®. What better way to celebrate the successes of the program than by focusing on the billions of dollars in reinvestment in our communities along with the thousands of new businesses and new jobs created? This conference will provide you with tools to continue your important work through these unprecedented, difficult times. Be on the lookout for more details, including the conference registration materials.
