BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION The Downtown River's Edge Business Association was formed in 1982 to enhance downtown Elk River's image and promote the retail, service,restaurant and professional businesses. The association is comprised of several area business owners and meets monthly to discuss upcoming events,promotional opportunities and other miscellaneous issues which will ultimately strengthen and inspire people to visit downtown. Membership fees go towards downtown advertising, the ArtCrawl, the annual Halloween event, Santa in the Park, flowers for the downtown planters and Chamber of Commerce Dues. City staff attends the monthly meetings to support continued communication between the city and downtown business owners and is working with the group on the creation of a new business directory. The business association maintains a website (www.erriversedge.com) and Facebook page (Elk River Downtown River's Edge) in efforts to promote the downtown. Staff has invited members of the Downtown River's Edge Business Association group to provide information to the HRA regarding their marketing initiatives,upcoming events and the impacts they've seen from Granite Shores, the Farmer's Market and the completion of Main Street Parking Plaza. Additionally,HRA Commissioners are encouraged to bring any questions or comments they have for the downtown businesses to the meeting.
