When there’s not a lot of outside capital available to make changes, the people who step up are often the ones who love a place enough to give it what it needs, not just what will generate the biggest return down the road. Make no mistake, The Dainty Maid and The Grand Leader are both businesses. Their success creates profits for employees, local companies, and the building owners themselves. What makes this different is that those profits are tied to the community winning. That’s what sits at the heart of small-scale and incremental development. Kristina and Ben are town makers, and they’re a small part of the larger comeback story unfolding in South Bend, Indiana. #IncrementalDevelopment #SmallScaleDevelopment #SouthBend #StrongTowns #TownMakers
