Frederick, MD – Rivers & Roads Consulting, a leading firm specializing in community, economic, and real estate development, is proud to announce its sponsorship of the 2024 Main Street Maryland Conference. The annual event, organized by the Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD) and the Maryland Economic Development Association (MEDA), will take place on October 8, 2024, bringing together Main Street managers, community leaders, and advocates to celebrate and shape the future of Maryland’s beloved Main Streets.
The 2024 Main Street Maryland Conference will highlight the critical role that Main Streets play in fostering vibrant local economies, preserving cultural heritage, and cultivating authentic community experiences. As a sponsor, Rivers & Roads reinforces its commitment to supporting the sustainable growth and revitalization of Maryland’s small towns and cities.
“We are honored to sponsor this year’s Main Street Maryland Conference,” said Sam Shoge, Partner at Rivers & Roads. “Main Streets are the heart of our communities, providing the spaces where local economies thrive and neighbors connect. Supporting this conference aligns with our mission to help towns and cities across Maryland and beyond achieve their full potential through thoughtful, community-oriented development.”
Rivers & Roads has deep roots in Main Street revitalization. Partner Ross Benincasa is a former Main Street director for the Town of Easton, bringing firsthand experience in creating vibrant downtowns. Additionally, Rivers & Roads is a proud member of Main Street America, actively contributing to national conversations around community development. Earlier this year, Benincasa and Shoge facilitated board training for Cambridge Main Street, and in 2022 delivered a presentation at the National Main Street Conference on the importance of retail and restaurant diversity for the stability of small towns.
