After successful Rural Rise Summit, Emporia Main Street readies for Kansas Main Street quarterly training session in town

Emporia Main Street is reporting a positive spillover effect from a recent national conference held locally. Following the Rural Rise Summit held in downtown Emporia late last month, Main Street Director Casey Woods says a lot of regional and national organizations are connecting with Main Street. Rural Rise brought a number of economic development entities and about 125 participants from across the country for networking and information. The conference actually sets the stage for the next economic development meeting Thursday and Friday at the Emporia Arts Center.
