Small towns across the Commonwealth and the nation are struggling more than ever to survive in competition with "big box" retailers, catalogs, and online stores. David Taylor discusses historic preservation and its connection to successful economic development in older central business districts and focuses especially on the case of Brookville (population 4,400), whose successful historic-preservation-based downtown revitalization program was among the first in Pennsylvania.
