Take Action

North Dakota is creating 21st century cities with vibrant cores that help to attract and retain talent. These unique places and spaces are the differentiator that helps lead to healthy fiscal—and physical—communities. 

Supporting activities include: 

• Renovation of historic buildings—a unique differentiator renewing sense of place, history and culture
• Development of mixed-use buildings (e.g. retail on first floor, upper floor(s) for apartments or offices create economic efficiency around existing infrastructure) to revive marginalized areas
• Revitalization of main street to be a vibrant hub where the community can come together
• Creation of walkable neighborhoods—where residents can live, work, shop, learn and play—to help lessen the burden of health care costs on taxpayers

There’s no better time to get the main street movement started in your town or city. Tap into these resources to lead your community forward.
