Join us Thursday, June 4 at noon via Zoom for the next Main Street RI Roundtable, From Strip Mall to Gathering Place: Tulsa’s Global District and the Future of Main Street Revitalization. Our featured speaker is Alejandro Garcia, executive director of the Tulsa Global District, a Main Street America program in the heart of East Tulsa, Oklahoma.

Many of the commercial corridors where communities gather don’t look at all like traditional, historic Main Street districts. They’re strip malls, corridors fronted by parking lots, and car-oriented strips built for a different era.

Using the Tulsa Global District as a case study, we’ll explore how Main Street programs can meet communities where they are, promoting people-centered revitalization around the existing cultural life and economic activity.
