<h2>Downtowns Should Prepare for the Economy\'s Recovery</h2>


<p class="body">(Boonton, NJ, February 17, 2009) &mdash; Many are asking if downtowns across North America are 
prepared for a continued downturn. The question should 
be: will downtowns be ready for the eventual bounce back?

<p class="body">That says Kent Burns of Burns Consulting, a downtown 
and economic development firm, is the more appropriate 
question.

<p class="body">Writing in the February 15 issue of <A HREF="http://www.DowntownDevelopment.com/dix.php" class="linkc"><i>Downtown Idea 
Exchange</i></a>, Burns discusses steps downtowns should be 
taking now to be ready for the bounce back.
