Senior Associate and Planning Leader, Christina Kruise
Christina’s session will explore lessons learned in creating successful downtowns that foster town and gown connections. While working, shopping, and dining meet important needs, arts and entertainment are the lifeblood of vibrant communities. The session will cover funding strategies and programs that support cultural organizations and event spaces. These initiatives aim to draw people downtown, build community ties, feature diverse voices, and catalyze new development.
The session will be held on the second day of the conference, Thursday, June 6 from 9:00 to 10:00 AM.
