Abstract:

With a modest infusion of funds of between $13 and $15 million, Winston-Salem plans to revitalize its downtown area by focusing on the arts as its primary vehicle. Instead of tearing down and rebuilding, the city will renovate existing structures. For example, the old \"Sawtooth\" building, which gets its name from rows of distinctive skylights, will contain exhibition areas for arts and crafts, while an auto dealership building attached to it will contain galleries, restaurants and a small theater.
