As many American cities attempt to rebound from housing and economic decline, some continue to struggle as job losses and increasing inventories of vacant properties add to decades of population loss. This session explores how America's "Legacy Cities"—cities like Cleveland, Detroit, Pittsburgh, and St. Louis—are employing rightsizing approaches to adapt to a changing economy and to position themselves for new growth and investment. Hear a multi disciplinary panel of policy leaders, advocates, and local officials as they explore how communities nationally, in Ohio, New York and Michigan have moved beyond the rhetoric of rightsizing and have started the process of retooling and reimagining their communities and regions. Discussion topics include: a new role for federal community development policy, the challenges of managing and rightsizing infrastructure, authentic community engagement, balancing public investment and market demand, equity, and strategies for local community driven change.

Still Starbucks-Free: Rural Main Streets—Small towns need vitality, too!

Speakers: Kathy Callies, Acting President, Rural Learning Center; Dennis (Denny) Ross, Mayor, City of Maupin, OR; JoAnne Bush, Mayor, City of Lake Village, AR; Chris Beck, Senior Projects Advisor, U.S.D.A.-Rural Development

Given the global economy's demand for greater economic efficiencies (fewer small farmers) and environmentally sound natural resource practices (less extraction), many rural communities are facing a dramatic shift in the economic opportunities available to them. Starbucks may not be coming any time soon, but rural leaders understand that creating great places to live and work is an essential ingredient to their economic future and have requested USDA funding for strategic, place-based investments. This session focuses on three case studies: a new meeting center in Howard, South Dakota, a revived market in Maupin, Oregon, and a historic renovation in Lake Village, Arkansas.
