Historic Downtowns

Oklahoma's historic downtowns are threatened by abandonment, neglect, and vandalism.  Dwindling populations result in declining revenues and warrants concern. Preserving small towns is not an impossible task, but requires entrepreneurs and government policymakers to use the most effective tools for innovation and change. Examples of threatened places in Oklahoma downtowns include the historic City Hall, Blanchard, Oklahoma; and the Wright Building and Kerfoot Building, El Reno, Oklahoma.
