Join us for the first event of the 2021 BIA Virtual Professional Development Sessions. The focus of this session will be on Economic Development: Reimagining Main Street.
Our main streets are the hearts of our communities. COVID-19 closures and restrictions have severely impacted our main streets over the past year. What will Main Street look like post-pandemic? Join our panel of experts as they discuss past aspects of Main Street, possible post-pandemic scenarios, the durability of e-commerce, different success stories, accessing funding programs, and much more.
