<p class="MsoNormal">I know all the focus these days is on reopening Main Streets, but would any of your Main Street directors or volunteers or your own staff like to attend a webinar about the Incremental Developer Alliance and how they go about developing small
scale real estate development projects while creating small scale developers? I am supporting up to ten (10) scholarships to attend the webinar for free. The webinar happens on Thursday, May 28 from 9am-1pm CST. It takes place in conjunction with the Oklahoma
Chapter of the Urban Land institute (ULI). This course also qualifies any person to attend their Small Developer Boot Camp. I only ask that only one person from each local Main Street program or State Program take advantage of the scholarship please.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">This seminar is a "catch-up" course to meet the required prerequisite in advance of the Small Developer Boot Camp. This Seminar on small scale real estate development is all about project formation. We take a big picture view of neighborhood-based
development to help attendees analyze what makes a good project, how a building makes money, and how small developers interact with the broader ecosystem of professionals in the built environment. By the end of the seminar, aspiring developers will feel more
prepared to take the first steps on their own project.<o:p></o:p></p>
