The Board Chairs of the Downtown District, The Chamber and Priority One recently announced approval of a letter of intent to unite the three organizations by creating one new entity. Focus of the new organization will include better integration of resources for economic development, increased public policy coordination and a unified voice for local and regional efforts.
Partners, members, investors and other stakeholders from each organization are invited and encouraged to attend one of a series of business input sessions scheduled throughout the next month. We want to share our ideas, take your questions and get your input. These sessions are FREE -- food and beverages will be provided.
Each session will include a formal presentation on the history of the project, an explanation of the new organization's purpose, structure and timeline, and we'll break into groups for Q&A. Please consider attending one of the following meetings located in downtown:
