Every Maine town and city has its unique story and character, and each works to support vitality in the present while honoring that history. With support from The Maine Downtown Network  local groups in Ellsworth and Belfast, along with 9 other Maine communities work to help their downtowns thrive.

On the first Talk of the Towns for the new year, co-hosts Ron Beard and Liz Graves are in conversation with Cara Romano, Director of Heart of Ellsworth, Amanda Cunningham, Executive Director of Our Town Belfast, along with Sylvie Piquet, Program Director for the Maine Downtown Center at the Maine Development Foundation.

Perhaps you are looking for ways to help your own downtowns and village centers thrive.

Make a note to tune in to the recording, Wednesday afternoon from 4 to 5, January 8, when the Talk of the Towns is Maine downtowns!
