Monroe's downtown is 'Rolling on the Riverfront'

The City of Monroe has been working to get it's downtown Main Street accredited.
Since 1984, Louisiana Main Street has helped communities transform the way they think about the revitalization and management of their downtowns and neighborhood commercial districts.

Cities and towns across the state have come to see that a prosperous, sustainable community is only as healthy as its core.

Nirali Patel and Emily Stogner join Cory Crowe to talk about the process and the upcoming 'Rolling on the Riverfront' festival.

Originally from Monroe, Cory has worked in a variety of media. He has worked in television news and spent seven years as a TV sports play-by-play announcer. He was also creative director for a television advertising department and worked extensively as a photojournalist. Cory has lived in both Dallas and New Orleans.
