we're back

In case you haven't noticed, we took some time away from the blog. What can we say, we've been very busy.

Since our last post, Mayor Dixon has announced the Pratt Street Initiative, and progress is already being made (more on that in a later post).

What else...?

The Downtown circulator service we worked to create will begin late in the summer. There was a contest to name the shuttle system and the winner will be announced in a few weeks.

We've also resolved dozens of issues, some big, some small, that are important to our members and Downtown property owners, we celebrated Kids Month and Downtown for the Holidays, advocated for improvements to the Historic Tax Credit, ate our way through the second annual Winter Restaurant Week, and hosted several networking events.

And there's more on tap. Stay tuned to this space for upcoming news about our new website design, the launch of a new media service, springtime events, and the release of the State of Downtown Report.
