Dear Downtown Stakeholders,

 

We are looking to gather key constituency groups to participate in facilitated group discussions about what's working and what's not working in downtown Rochester today. 

 

If you represent one of the constituencies listed below, we're hoping for your participation!

 

Thurs Dec 5 - HOSPITALITY SECTOR

Mon Dec 9 - STREET LEVEL BUSINESSES

Tues, Dec 10 - NEXT GEN / YOUNG PROFESSIONALS

Fri, Dec 13 - DOWNTOWN RESIDENTS

Mon Dec 16 - DOWNTOWN DEVELOPERS

Tues Dec 17 - NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS

Wed Dec 18 - COMMERCIAL TENANTS

 

All sessions will take place from 12:00 - 2:00 pm in the RDDC Board Room at 100 Chestnut St. (19th floor).

 

Free lunch, a networking opportunity, and stimulating conversation are what we can offer you in return for your time. 

 

If you're interested in participating in a session, please contact Karen Hite at rddc@rddc.org or 546-6920 and include your name and which group you're interested in attending. In the event that we receive more interest than needed, we will let inquirers know that the session is already full.

 

These discussion groups are part of a process underway to explore strengthening our downtown through a Business Improvement District (BID). BIDs have proven to be a powerful way to improve conditions and quality of life in city centers. Hundreds of mid-large size cities across the country and around the world employ BIDs to manage their downtown areas, and have reaped substantial benefits from the enhanced on-street and off-street services that a BID provides. 

 

A critical step in the exploration process is to gain a clear understanding of how the community views the current environment and services provided in our downtown. To that end, we are conducting this series of discussion groups with key constituencies.

 

Thank you for considering the opportunity to share your insights!

 

Sincerely,
