Next meeting of downtown businesses is Tuesday, January 20, 8:30 a.m. at Louis Le Francais.

In November, David Duggins attended with the obvious intent of squelching discussion of Jeff Speck's impending street network proposals.

In December, the mayor himself emerged from the down-low bunker to encourage struggling merchants to gaze into a halcyon distance offered by the Regional Cities Initiative, something that may never even happen.

Since then, the Speck study has been released, Pillsbury has announced its closure, and the parent company of Horseshoe has gone into Chapter 11 bankruptcy. There is quite a lot to discuss, and so I'm guessing the city will send one of its attorneys bearing a muzzle.


Happy New Year! We hope that yours is off to a great start. Our next meeting will take place Tuesday morning (January 20th) at 8:30 a.m. Louis Le Francais is graciously hosting our meeting. (Below) you will find a brief outline of minutes from our last meeting.
