Louise Wadsworth

Louise Wadsworth is the Downtown Coordinator for the nine villages in Livingston County, Western New York State.  Working with the Livingston County Economic Development team for the last 15 years, she has administered business development programs, historic renovation incentives, and marketing initiatives, all geared toward creating destination businesses. In her previous career Louise owned and operated several retail stores on “Main Street” in different parts of the country, so she understands the challenges these businesses face.

When Louise first heard Jon Schallert in 2006 at a National Main Street Conference and realized the importance of Destination Creation, she knew it was critical to bring this information to a wider audience.  Louise is a Destination Bootcamp graduate who completed the Train-the-Trainer Course in May 2020.
