I have made a few edits which I think were needed including moving the title to "List of" because it is just that, a list. What I am intrigued by is the lack of sources. Is this a genuine set of programs or is it some business thing. I would have expected there to be a number of articles about the individualm programs but I am struggling to see what the purpose is of just listing the places where these programs are being carried out without some substantial background to them. Is this part of urban planning in the USA? Is it some private initiatives? And what do the "(D)"'s after the entries for Arizona mean? Green Giant (talk) 21:34, 28 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Agree that there needs to be an article about the program. It is operated by the National Trust for Historic Preservation - it emphasizes local qualities, both design and economics, and is based on preservation of existing assets to revive main streets, emphasizing historic qualities that establish character of a place. Typically a manager will work with businesses to try to manage an area as a whole economically, looking at a mix of businesses and retail, define an architectural and urban design program, use improvements to pedestrian areas, street design, sometimes establish a design program, for instance, similar awnings on a stretch of a main street. I too am surprised there is no article on this, as it has been quite successful in many areas.Parkwells (talk) 15:22, 10 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
