Introducing our 2020 Corporate Investors:
Best Wishes for a Healthy & Happy Holiday Season
If nothing else, 2020 has certainly been a memorable year. When we think back to last January, when everyone was greeting the New Year with “2020 vision”, it’s somewhat ironic that perhaps what this year has shown us more clearly than anything else is what’s most important to us – the friends and family we hold dear, the communities that bind us together, and the jobs, businesses and merchants that give color and purpose to our lives.
This holiday season we wish you peace of mind and joy of spirit, and hope that 2021 brings you a reinvigorated “new normal” that’s better than ever.
Recovery & Resiliency Webinars Continue in January
CMSC continues to offer the latest resources and best practices in downtown management through our popular educational programming. Join us on January 12th for Vacant Property Strategies: Turning the Lights Bank On with Jason Vincent, President, Norwich Community Development Corporation. This session will examine the complex reasons why properties are unused, the critical importance of market alignment and expanding your toolbox with dreams & visions, master plans, zoning & code correction, parking strategies, and historic preservation tools to bring vacant buildings back to life in your community. More Info & Register here.
Month after month, our network of experts shared their perspective on important issues facing CT’s downtowns & Main Streets, from building resiliency to utilizing 3D design in the time of Covid, to supporting small businesses.
