Downtowns and neighborhoods across North Louisiana are sitting on untapped potential — vacant buildings, empty lots, and no roadmap to bring them back to life.
Join us for a free public lecture on Incremental Development, taught by Tiffany Elder, exploring how small, locally-driven projects can rebuild local ownership and revitalize communities — one step at a time.
🗓️ Tuesday, Sept 29 | 5:30 - 7:30 PM
📍 Ruston Civic Center, 401 N Trenton Street, Ruston, LA 71270
💵 Free & open to the public
