Recorded on Jan 7, this in person event featured four panelists who are working across the state to strengthen Maine's downtowns. Co-hosted and moderated by the Maine Development Foundation's Maine Downtown Center & MPHA, this discussion digs deep into the importance of social connection, and how to foster it through smart design, programming, and plain old scrappiness.

Speakers:

Lisa Miller: Maine Alliance for Health & Prosperity 

C.J. Opperthauser: Friends of Congress Square Park, Portland 

Kristina Cannon: Main Street Skowhegan

Teresa Valliere: Friends of Woodfords Corner, Portland
