| DOWNTOWN ADVISORY COMMITTEE (DAC) | |
|
The committee capitalizes on the recommendations of urban planners Crandall Arambula, the firm retained by Nine Counties One Vision to create a design framework for downtown. The committee recommends to the Mayor strategies that prioritize critical projects needed to spur continued private investment, provides a realistic execution plan with available resources in mind, and promotes downtown's role as the heart of the city, with diverse activities and events.  The
committee also addresses priorities identified by participants in
the recent Downtown Summit - support for sustainable design, development
incentives, and removing roadblocks to development. The committee is representative of downtown stakeholders and design professionals and will be served by technical staff of government and non-profit organizations with expertise in various disciplines related to downtown. Mayor Haslam will seek the public's input on the draft plan before finalizing the document and presenting it to City Council this spring. |
