Main Street Stabilization Lead

City of Midtown Economic DevelopmentNeighborhood Main StreetsJoined Oct 2024

Turned commercial vacancy data into a prioritized facade-grant and micro-loan sequence. First tranche is the reference case for restabilizing storefronts without waiting on a mega-project.

Vacancy is a decision ledger. Stabilize the storefronts that still have stewards, then invite the rest back.
