Business Development Committee

Business Development concentrates on strengthening the district's existing economic base while finding ways to expand its economy and introduce compatible new uses.

The Business Development Committee, also known as Economic Restructuring, has the job of identifying new market opportunities for the traditional commercial district, finding new uses for buildings, and stimulating investment in property. By understanding the community's economic condition and opportunities for incremental market growth, the Committee can:

Strengthen existing businesses and recruit new ones.
Find new economic uses for traditional Downtown buildings.
Develop financial incentives and capital for building rehabilitation and business development.

Monitor the economic performance of the district.
