Downtown Vibrancy Initiative

($100,000, one-time cost)

Coordinating new downtown events for the community presents an excellent opportunity to not only bring people together but also support and promote local businesses. By hosting events such as night markets, pop-up shops, food festivals, and art walks, we create a platform where local vendors, artists, and entrepreneurs can showcase their products and services to a larger audience. These events drive foot traffic to downtown areas, boosting sales and enhancing the visibility of small businesses that might otherwise struggle to attract attention. Moreover, the collaboration between event organizers and local establishments helps build stronger community ties, ensuring that the events reflect the unique culture of the area while benefiting the local economy. Through thoughtful planning and a focus on supporting these businesses, we can create memorable experiences that foster growth and solidarity within the community. A one-time cost of $100,000 would serve as foundational funding to spur economic growth through a downtown vibrancy initiative and would have potential to be matched by other sponsorships.

Please note that this is NOT a planned project. It is a potential Measure I project for the purpose of budget planning. Learn more.
