That's why the conference — presented by the National Main Street Center, a subsidiary of the National Trust for Historic Preservation — featured neighborhood advocates and
economic development experts who shared ideas that can help real estate professionals bolster their local commercial districts.
That project was spearheaded by noted
economic development expert Ed Morrison along with area business leaders — in particular, Charles Van Rysselberge,
who headed the Oklahoma City Chamber of Commerce at that time.
Using a $ 15,000 Smart Growth Action Grant from the National Association of REALTORS ®, Stallard,
who also serves as the town's director of
economic development, brought in historic preservation
experts to help draw up a blueprint for the strip.
