About incREDible Downtowns
What's with the weird capitalization?
There's more than meets the eye with our program name incREDible Downtowns!
This is program focuses on entrepreneurship education for those with business ideas that are vibrant and vital choices for historic districts.
Here's the math:
inc = professional businesses
RED = retail/restaurant entrepreneurship development
Edible = ok, this one may not add up, but it refers to the food industry
Downtowns = historic districts = Main Streets
Our Approach
Partnerships! That's where it's at and what we're all about. This program brings together an entire community: property owners, economic developers, small business educators, funders, local business owners, and aspiring entrepreneurs from every age group, cultural background and economic status.
Our goal is to create the most inclusive and diverse downtowns with vibrant, successful businesses run by passionate people who participate in the promotion, preservation and vitalization of our nation's historic districts.
Why Us?
Well, frankly, because we rock! We have previous experience with Main Street programs, small town economic development, entrepreneurship training, partnership/relationship building, herding cats, refereeing children, launching a business, start-up business assistance, and getting even the most glazed-over skeptic enthusiastically involved in projects.
Not only do we bring the incredible knowledge gained by these experiences, we are really excited about what we do. Passion...get too close and you'll catch it!
How do we do it?
Program Elements include:
- Community assessment of your downtown business district's current entrepreneurship ecosystem
- Surveys, interviews and focus groups to determine what's missing, needed and wanted in the future of your downtown
- Facilitation of partnerships to create and implement greater diversity, inclusion, and small business support systems in your downtown
- Assistance with the creation of entrepreneurship education and training programs
- Collaboration on a pitch/business plan competition
