The CCA Board voted today to approve the CID Petition, adding their support to that of the SBD Board and the CID Steering Committee.
Just in case you've lost track, this discussion first began nearly two years ago. To give everyone a sense of the timeline so far:
The SBD Board first voted to bring in a downtown consultant in December of 2007 and the folks from PUMA Consulting first came out in March of 2008. By September of 2008, a CID Steering Committee had been formed to begin investigating options for turning the strategic plan into a reality. We've conducted numerous town hall meetings, one-on-one meetings, surveys and more and now both the CCA and SBD Boards have a good sense of what their members need from this organization now and in the future.
Needless to say, everyone is very excited about reaching the next step in the process!
If you've got questions, feel free to contact any of the SBD or CCA Board members or members of the CID Steering Committee. They've all put a tremendous amount of time into this effort and really deserve all the credit on this one.
