Part of the mission of the Wisconsin Downtown Action Council is to promote revitalization of Wisconsin Downtowns, through information sharing and peer learning. One tool to achieve this mission is the development of case studies in downtown revitalization. The following is a list of the case studies that are currently available through this website – please click on the ones that interest you to read or listen to the details of the case.
