We can all agree an economically vibrant, friendly downtown is important. So, isn't it time we had a discussion about ALTERNATIVES to a BID? On Tuesday, February 13th at 7pm you will have a chance to learn about the issues, impacts and ALTERNATIVES to the Bid via a ZOOM presentation. This is an educational program. Attendance does not indicate support or opposition to the proposed BID for downtown. It's just a chance to LEARN and engage in a dialog about supporting our community's downtown neighborhood. *The content of this meeting has been prepared by the BID Education Committee.
