Community intake
CCI collects basic context, priority areas, local goals, and known visitor challenges.
Pilot Program
A practical starting option for communities ready to test the CCI review process.
The pilot program is designed for small cities and towns that want a focused, manageable first review before committing to a broader effort.
Who the pilot is for
The pilot is a good fit for communities near interstate exits, regional highways, tourism corridors, trail systems, downtown districts, parks, lakes, historic assets, or event venues.
It is also useful for communities that have heard recurring concerns about signs, appearance, access, empty properties, parking, or missed visitor spending.
Pilot format
A compact review with a clear result.
Focused review
CCI reviews selected corridors, visitor entry points, downtown access, signage, and visible appearance issues.
Action memo
The community receives concise findings and a ranked list of recommended first steps.
Potential pilot outcomes
- Better understanding of missed visitor-capture points
- Short-term signage and wayfinding priorities
- Clearer downtown access and parking opportunities
- Low-cost appearance and code-related improvements
- EV charging readiness considerations
- Interstate-exit improvement ideas
- Materials for council or board discussion
