“I thought the presentation was dynamic; so many useful ideas even for a rural town like Goshen, CT. Can’t wait to share with my colleagues on Goshen Housing Trust and Goshen Business Circle. Thank you!”

 – Dawn W. commenting on our webinar, FIRST — NEXT — LATER: Safeguarding Small Business During the Pandemic, featuring Kennedy Smith of the Institute for Local Self-Reliance, one of the nation’s foremost experts on commercial district revitalization and business development. Dawn serves as Vice President of the Goshen Housing Trust, and Goshen Business Circle, Director at large.

Sometimes communities need additional help to address downtown issues in a deeply focused way. When this happens, CMSC can provide technical advisor services in the areas of historic preservation and economic development; rural asset-based economic development; and integrating the built environment with natural resources.
