Downtown
And Business District
Market Analysis
Workshop
Please
join the Maine Downtown Center for a full day workshop on a new, on-line
downtown and business district market analysis toolbox on September 26th
in Saco. The workshop will be held in downtown Saco at the Sweetser
Professional Building (146 Main Street) and begin at 8:30 a.m. and conclude at
4:00 p.m.
This workshop will feature
explanations and hands-on exercises designed to give you the skills to conduct
market analysis in your community and will be conducted by market analysis
experts from the Wisconsin Main Street Program and the University of
Wisconsin-Extension Center for Community Economic Development who created the
program.
The
on-line toolbox adopts a new approach to market analysis by separating the
process into discrete and achievable components. The toolbox includes building
inventory software, standardized survey instruments, market data profiles, and
supply and demand analysis techniques by sector. The toolbox goes beyond traditional retail market analysis to
include mixed-use development and business clustering.

training manual, please visit:

The
workshop will be presented by Bill Ryan, Community Business Development
Specialist and Matthew Kures, GIS State Specialist, both from the Center for
Community Economic Development in Wisconsin.
The
cost of the workshop is $70 per person,
except that individuals from Maine Street Maine communities participate for
just $10 (to cover lunch and refreshments). Please contact Craig
