As many of you know, I recently started an additional consulting group--it is affiliated with one of  my practices THE DOWNTOWN ENTREPRENEURSHIP PROJECT.  I am a firm believer that in order to revitalize downtowns and neighborhood commercial districts we need to create entrepreneurial environments.......

One tool that can be used to help create an entrepreneurial environment within a downtown or commercial district is a Retail Incubator--there are many different types.  So I started THE RETAIL INCUBATION GROUP to help downtowns and commercial districts form retail incubators that are the most appropriate for their areas.  Please take a look at the site when you get a chance--there is new blog as well associated with the site.  The site is
htttp://www.retailincubation.com 


Also Planetizen, the superb planning and community revitalization website has a piece about the new consulting practice.  It can be found at http://planetizen.com/announce/item.php?id=1724

Thanks..and best ...
