Small and Rural Communities Revitalization

Projects referenced indicate work managed and/or completed by senior BBP LLC staff, including assignments by Basile and Prost when they were Principals and senior technical staff at other consulting firms.

Economic restructuring and revitalization strategies are often prepared for leaders in small communities nationwide. These exercises often are coordinated with other consultants specializing in design guidelines and community visioning, but many times are prepared without these other types of studies.

Staff at BBP LLC have long worked with the Main Street Program of the National Trust for Historic Preservation, as well as dozens of communities participating in similar state government-sponsored programs turned into these same revitalization activities. Our target market assessments and subsequent business retention and recruitment analyses form the foundation for our recommendations in these communities.

Not only have we performed the types of technical assessments noted above, but staff at BBP LLC have also spoken at dozens of conferences, seminars, workshops and training sessions for managers active in these revitalization programs both through the National Main Street Center and over a dozen related state programs for smaller communities. We also have prepared manuals and training packages used by professionals on a daily basis that are involved in these programs.
