Main Street Hits the Maine Coast, November 19, 2010, Inaugural Show

The topic for our first show will be "Main Street Reaches the Maine Coast: Impacts of the Maine Street Maine Program on Knox and Waldo Counties ."

From the Maine Development Foundation web site Main Street Maine page:

While commercial district revitalization can be addressed in many ways, the underlying premise of the Main Street approach is to encourage economic development, within the context of historic preservation that is appropriate to today’s market place. This approach advocates a return to community self-reliance, empowerment, and the rebuilding of commercial districts based on its traditional assets: unique architecture, personal service, local ownership, and a sense of community.

Guests include...

• Larraine Brown, program lead for Our Town Belfast
• Lorain Francis, Executive Director of Main Street Rockland
• Roxanne Eflin, from the Maine Development Foundation
