Downtown Tupelo was under the microscope last week as officials with two national groups led workshops on how Main Street communities can improve.
The national placemaking workshop publicly kicked off last Tuesday with a luncheon facilitated by the New York City-based Project for Public Spaces and the Washington, D.C.,-based National Main Street Center, which is part of the National Trust for Historic Preservation. Tupelo was selected for the pilot program after a national competition.
Placemaking, according to Steve Davies with the Project for Public Spaces, is turning a neighborhood, town or city from a place you can't wait to get through to one you never want to leave.

Here is a copy of the Power Point presentation that the consultants presented before leaving town on Thursday. A more detailed written report will follow in the next 4 to 6 weeks.
