Our two senior partners have almost 40 years of experience in downtown revitalization. We both served as senior staff for the National Trust for Historic Preservation’s National Main Street Center, Kennedy Smith as the Center’s director and Josh Bloom as a senior program officer. We both also served as managers of local downtown revitalization programs before joining the staff of the National Main Street Center, bringing first-hand experience with the daily challenges and long-term opportunities of downtown economic development to our work. The CLUE Group is regarded as one of the nation’s leading experts in downtown revitalization, downtown economic development, and small business development. Our clients include local and state governments throughout the United States; local, state and national nonprofit organizations; private developers; and government entities in Canada and the United Kingdom.
