2024 Downtown and Historic Preservation Conference

Join the Department of Housing and Community Development, Preservation Trust of Vermont and the Vermont Arts Council on Wednesday June 5, 2024 for the Downtown and Historic Preservation Conference in partnership with the Town of Rockingham and the Bellows Falls Downtown Development Alliance.

Come celebrate Bellows Falls and statewide successes as we look at the past, present and future of Vermont and the communities we all cherish. As a community that has reimagined itself countless times, from a gathering place and home of the western Abenaki, to a center for the forest products industry, to a haven for artists and the creative economy, Bellows Falls has welcomed the future while staying true to itself. This conference will explore that spirit of reinvention and provide participants with proven strategies for community revitalization.

Sessions are centered around the following themes and are inclusive of a wide range of topics that are relevant to communities small and large:
resiliencyadaptationinclusive spaces, and creativity. This is an all day, in-person event in Downtown Bellows Falls with no virtual offerings.

We hope your participation will provide you with the inspiration, tools, connections, and momentum to invigorate your community!
