The 12 in 6 Journey | Episode 2

SUMMARY
We'll visit key individuals in or near 12 randomly connected central business districts, over a six day period in order to identify key perspectives and common challenges for community growth in 2010.

PRETENSE
Historic Dublin, OH kicks off its event season starting in May and given the fact that 2010 is the city's bicentennial, the downtown business association has put lots of thought and energies into celebrating the areas heritage, highlighting the leaders who brought us here, and uncovering the things we can do to revitalize and sustain the spirit of our community.

ACTION ITEM
The downtown business community is in need of rediscovering and sharpening the tools necessary to build a vibrant, sustainable Historic District. We'll kick off our travels through 12 different central business districts over 6 days on April 5th and wrap filming on April 10th.

You can follow the hashtag #12in6 on Twitter to get live commentary and pictures of the journey and interactions. The video documentation of the project will be available for premiere throughout each community in early May.

Stops include:

Huntington, WV, Asheville, NC, Fayetteville, NC, Raleigh, NC, Chesapeake, VA, Virginia Beach, VA, Richmond, VA, Roanoke, WV, Lexington, KY, Cincinnati, OH, Dayton, OH, Dublin, OH

OUTCOME
