Economic Development Director DeJong explained a Business Assistant Package can also be given to assist in the retention of a business. APPLICATION PRESENTATION Katie Valdez, 791 W. Mulberry Street, Louisville, CO a waiter, bartender and manager for the Blue Parrot Restaurant, read a letter from the applicant, Paul Weissmann, who was not able to attend the meeting. The letter explained the City's Business Assistance would greatly help the restaurant continue to thrive. Two years ago, after several economically challenging years, the family considered closing the 92 -year business. Since then, they invested in many cost saving measures such as new lighting and water conservation efforts. They propose a permanent deck for outside dining to transform the restaurant. The deck would be built over the existing ramp on the buildings east side, thereby preserving all the parking spaces. The Business Assistance would aid in the design and construction of the deck and enable the Blue Parrot to continue to be a vital part of downtown Louisville. He expressed thanks to Chief Building Official Ken Swanson and Economic Development Director Aaron DeJong for their assistance.
