new regional programs

downtown tennessee
Downtown Tennessee is a program with the objective of developing a “destination like” marketing approach to downtown areas across the region. Downtowns across Tennessee offer a great deal of opportunity and diversity. Downtown experiences enhance the quality of life, quality of a visit, and drive local economies with locally owned shops and restaurants.
Like many efforts, downtowns often depend on various government and private mechanisms when organizing on the local level. The idea behind this program is to strategically align those efforts both locally and regionally. By working together across organizations like chambers of commerce, Main Street programs, and independent movements, this program will be able to develop marketing strategies that provide consistent visitor information for each downtown in the region.
The program launch is projected for spring and summer of 2021 and will be promoted with both printed and digital media. The domain is DowntownTennessee.com.
