Vision for Downtown

So last week I asked for some vision for Downtown. It turns out that the smart guys at Exurban League already had some ideas. They, like me, believe that it shouldn't try to be the next Mill Avenue. The concept of locally owned shops and other creative destinations would be a great idea for the area. However, they do need to find a way to make sure that people are attracted downtown or something to keep the overhead low because independent businesses need to stand on their own. There is no corporation holding them up when the economy is down.

However, its great to hear some creative thought. Perhaps with this new mayor and council, there will be more people willing to listen.
