Amy Bell, with a previous company, and as a founding Principal Landscape Architect of Anthropopulus Design + Planning, has worked with over 30 accredited MainStreet organizations and communities, Frontier and Native American Communities, and Arts and Cultural Districts since 2017, using Main Street America’s Main Street Approach™. These projects have provided our team with invaluable experience working with diverse populations in rural and urban contexts across the state on projects that range from downtown master plans to parklet design and large infrastructure projects.

All projects are rooted in community need and initiated through requests from the local organization in support of their Economic Transformation Strategies.
