Attachments
· 15 completed Comment Forms from the July 17, 2002 Open House
A public open house was held Wednesday, July 17, 2002 from 7 - 9 p.m. at the Lions Park
Center. The purpose of the open house was to allow the public an opportunity to meet the
three developers being considered for the downtown revitalization project, review their
concepts, ask questions and provide feedback to the HRA and Council regarding likes,
dislikes and issues of concern.
The open house was communicated by the following ac6vides: · Interview with Star News and cover story in the July 10th edition, as well as additional
coverage in the July 17 publication.
· Event flyers and news release distributed to over 30 businesses via the Rivers Edge
Business Association.
· Announcement at the July 10, 2002 Rivers Edge Business Assoc. regular meeting.
· Event flyers posted at the library, city hall, municipal utilities office and Lion's Park
Center.
· Announcement on ErtV Channel 12.
Staff estimates approximately 50 people attended the open house. There was no formal
presentation, rather a series of informal discussions between the public and developers. The
developers had presentation boards of their concept for downtown and their redevelopment
experience. The public was asked to sign-in and to fill out a comment form to provide
feedback to the Council and HRA. Fifteen comment forms were completed and submitted.
Staff also provided information on the downtown revitalization project goal and objectives,
chronology, redevelopment process and project newsletters.
