Summary by Dirk Langeveld
Connecticut Main Street Center has announced a strategic partnership with the Connecticut Conference of Municipalities in a move aimed at strengthening the organizations’ knowledge and advocacy on issues affecting downtowns and local economic development.
CMSC said that it will offer customized webinars and exclusive conversations with industry experts for CCM members to share its expertise on strategies to create vibrant downtowns. In exchange, CMSC will work to make its members aware of CCM services that could benefit their missions, such as data collection and research to support economic development.
CMSC says the partnership also helps to strengthen its advocacy efforts on behalf of its statewide membership, since it can capitalize on CCM’s ties to state legislators to amplify its voice on issues related to downtowns and economic development.
