What happens when a historic downtown has high vacancy?
Communities may begin to see fewer jobs, a reduced tax revenue and fewer housing options near main streets. Groundwork’s GROW policy framework highlights practical changes that can help towns respond to these challenges. Thoughtful housing policies can help towns activate downtowns, increase local spending and preserve the town's character through reinvestment.

What happens when there are limited housing options in a tourist town? When housing supply doesn’t keep pace, residents may struggle to find options that fit their needs and communities can face longer commute patterns. Groundwork’s GROW policy framework highlights practical strategies that can help communities continue to benefit from tourism while also meeting the needs of their residents. The result: a town where the people who make tourism work can afford to live there. Learn more about the GROW recommendations at the link in comments.
