OLD TO NEW: REMODEL, RESTORE, REVITALIZE,
9/24/2007 at 10:20 PM
An upcoming TV show on Prairie Public TV that might be of interest for those from smaller towns:
"For decades, "downtown" was the hub of the economic and social lives of rural residents across North Dakota. But today, these same downtowns are struggling to maintain their vitality and in some cases even their sense of identity. Seeking to reverse years of decline, visionaries are rehabilitating old buildings and putting them to new uses, helping small towns preserve their identity and quality of life.
OLD TO NEW: REMODEL, RESTORE, REVITALIZE, showcases the history of change affecting small town economies, explores why rural business districts are failing, and examines some of the new ideas being implemented today and their implications for community leaders. Tune in for the premiere September 25 at 9 pm CT or for the rebroadcast September 30 at 3 pm CT
