What this Board has delivered.
We delayed dues collection this year for one reason: we wanted to show you results before we asked you to invest. Here they are.
Saved for a single merchant
We helped negotiate a parking lot access deal with a new downtown business - with the City's support - and that negotiation is set to save that merchant over $12,000.
Funded social media campaign
We secured grant money to run the social media campaign that's been promoting downtown merchants over the past several months.
More downtown police, faster response
We worked with the City to increase the downtown police presence and get immediate response when merchants flag issues.
The City finally heard us
After years of merchants feeling unheard, the City began listening to concerns about the Soiree - and made real adjustments to accommodate merchants.
Help with building issues
We've stepped in to help business owners resolve building-related issues through our direct line to the City.
