Dale Prize Colloquium 2013California State Polytechnic University - PomonaPomona, CA Free event The Dale Prize colloquium creates a dialogue between a scholar and a practitioner around a focused planning topic. This year's theme is Restoring Main Street: Linking Historic Preservation and Economic Development. The colloquium is a two-hour, moderated discussion addressing this theme. Many cities have underutilized historic commercial, industrial and residential districts that can become assets in an economic development strategy. While there are many success stories attesting to this, there are also examples where economic development has diminished historic resources. Attendees will learn about ways of traversing these two dimensions to develop effective plans and policies. How can we create jobs, expand economic activity, and build a tax base while respecting and enhancing historic resources? How can synergies be realized and conflicts avoided? What strategies should jurisdictions follow, recognizing that the term historic has official and local meanings in a diverse, multicultural society?
